Why focusing on long-term health is so important for performance as a triathlete

Our body and our health are one of THE MOST important things in life. Yet why don’t we prioritise it?

When we get stressed, busy and time-poor, nutrition is often the first ball that gets dropped.

As you know, I’m a big advocate for nutrition. It’s the difference between a good athlete and an excellent athlete.

Your body is the number one thing that will get you to the finish line. Yes, you have to train to get there too, but I encourage you to RESPECT your body and your health more. Your body is your temple. When you’re retired, it’s what you’ve got left. Let’s not ruin it now.

Control the controllables – what you put in your mouth is controllable. Yet as triathletes, we get preoccupied with the latest gadgets and technology.

This is your kick in the butt to invest in your body + health. It’s the only one you’ve got
