New Year, New PR: Nutrition Goals for Triathletes

New Year, New PR: Nutrition Goals for Triathletes

Welcome back to the Triathlon Nutrition Academy podcast for another year!

I still can't believe we're in 2025, but I hope you had an amazing holiday season filled with family, friends, relaxation, and perhaps a bit of training too.

The start of a new year is when a lot of us are setting set ambitious performance goals – but I want to make sure we’re setting goals we can reach, not ones that’ll be dropped by February.

That’s why today I’m sharing five practical and achievable nutrition goals designed for triathletes just like you! Whether aiming for a personal best, tackling new distances, or simply enhancing your everyday energy levels, I've got insights to help you succeed.

1. Nail Your Pre and Post-Training Nutrition: This is one of the simplest ways to boost your performance and consistency is the name of the game. Pre-training, focus on carbohydrates for energy with options like toast or a banana. Post-training, ensure you're covering the "four Rs" of recovery nutrition. This habit can significantly enhance energy levels and reduce recovery time.

2. Stop Guessing - Assess What’s on Your Plate: Rather than counting calories, evaluate the quality and timing of your meals. Begin by writing down your food intake for a few days. This awareness can reveal patterns, like skipped meals or reliance on convenience foods, affecting your performance.

3. Plan Ahead Like A Pro: With busy schedules, planning is crucial. Dedicate time each weekend to plan meals, snacks, and training. Preparing nutrient-rich foods in advance can keep you on track amidst daily chaos.

4. Level Up Your Hydration Game: Hydration affects performance more than you might think. Understand your sweat rate and fluid needs, especially your requirement for electrolytes, to maintain optimal performance levels.

5. Test Your Race Day Nutrition Early: Don't leave your race nutrition to chance. Test your strategy well before race day, practicing with the products you’ll use. This preparation builds confidence and reduces surprises come race day.

Setting these nutrition goals is just the start: the real victories come when you turn them into habits. Here are some tips to ensure your new habits stick around for the long haul:

Start small: Choose one area to focus on and master it before moving to the next.

Track your progress: Keep a journal or use an app to maintain accountability.

Seek support: Engage with a coach, dietitian, or community like the Triathlon Nutrition Academy to stay on track. In addition to the community support, the TNA program provides step-by-step guidance, tools, and resources to support your journey. Doors open on 20th January, and I'm offering exclusive bonuses for early joiners.

Thank you for joining me today, and here’s to a great 2025!

Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Hey you! Put the scales away and listen up!  Many triathletes are interested in measuring their body composition. Whether it’s losing body fat or gaining muscle. Endurance athletes strive to be leaner, lighter and faster because you have to carry your weight across a long distance.  One of the major challenges with this is actually trying to track and measure body composition change. You’re probably using the scales as a way of measuring. but this episode explains why there are major limitations to the scales.  Listen in to my conversation with body composition manipulation expert Gary Slater. Gary is a fellow Advanced Sports Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist and loves using himself as an n=1 experiment for maximum muscle hypertrophy gains.  Gary explains why you need to stop relying on the scales and what to do instead if you want to really track changes in your body composition.    LINKS: Website: www.dietitianapproved.com To work with me 1 on 1: dietitianapproved.com/services Join the Triathlon Nutrition Academy Program: dietitianapproved.com/academy Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: facebook.com/DietitianApproved The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved Support the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why you Suck at Carb-Loading

Why you Suck at Carb-Loading

Most triathletes think they’re carbohydrate loading by eating a bowl of pasta the night before their race.

What events should you carbohydrate load for? How do you do it?
