Why You’re a Tired Triathlete All the Time and How to Find More Energy

Are you feeling tired and fatigued?

Of course you are - you’re a triathlete training for 3 sports in a week. Plus juggling the demands of work, family, and life. But you shouldn't be completely wiped all the time. Even if you’re training for a full distance/ironman event.

We often push ourselves to the limits, neglecting the importance of quality nutrition, sleep and recovery. Our bodies need time to repair and recharge. Without it, fatigue becomes our constant companion. And it’s not a badge of honour you should be proud to wear.

Remember we only adapt from the sessions we recover from. So constantly smashing yourself is not going to make you a better triathlete. Recovery is just as important as training itself.

Nutrition also plays a pivotal role in our energy levels. Sometimes you don’t know how good you can feel, until you’ve got your nutrition sorted to support training.

So how do you find more energy?

Here are 6 practical strategies to help you find more energy and feel like a supercharged triathlete.
