A lot of triathletes complain about being time-poor. You fit A LOT into your days. It’s hard to fit much else in, particularly to learn a new skill or gain some deeper knowledge and understanding about your nutrition. So I wanted to share with you 6 simple hacks that you can utilise to save at least 2 hours every week. Personally, they allow me to cram A LOT in, just like you, and still eat well which is one of my highest values (obviously).  Because at the end of the day, what is all this training and chaos without our health? You are what you eat - so if you want to train better and become a fitter, faster triathlete, it’s time to take more notice of how you fuel your body.  LINKS Download my FREE Weekly Menu Planner Template: ​​dietitianapproved.com/planner Outsource meal planning to me: dietitianapproved.com/MenuPlanning Get instant access to over 150 nutritious and delicious recipes to fuel the active triathlete: dietitianapproved.com/recipedatabase Join the waitlist for our next Triathlon Nutrition Academy opening in July! www.dietitianapproved.com/academy Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

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.   LINKS   Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

EP 95 - How To Shave Minutes Off Your Triathlon Transition Times Having a smooth and efficient transition is crucial in a triathlon to save time, stress and maintain momentum. I’m a firm believer in fast transitions – get in and get out! You can waste SO MUCH TIME mucking around in transition having a picnic or sitting down to put on toe socks. It’s not uncommon for athletes to waste between 5-10 minutes in T1 and T2, shooting themselves in the foot if they’re hoping for a PB or podium spot.  And not to mention how much it can take you out of a racing mindset. Giving you time to stop and think about how much you’re hurting instead of pushing through.  So because I’m all about supporting you to become a fitter, faster, healthier triathlete -  here are my 7 tips for a faster triathlon transition.   LINKS Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.

EP 94 - How Liz Blatchford Managed 120g of Carbohydrate Per Hour on the Bike in Ironman Liz Blatchford - one of THE MOST successful triathletes of all time.  She had an 18 year professional racing career from 2000 in both the ITU circuit and full distance events. And to top it all off, was inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame in 2022. She is now retired from competing, living her best life with her two little people, but is still heavily involved in the sport through coaching. I wanted to get Liz on the podcast to chat about her Ironman fuelling strategies. She was the first athlete I ever heard of, many years ago before it was a ‘thing’ - that was fuelling at 120g of carbohydrate per hour on the bike. CRAZY for a 60kg athlete!Tune in to hear how she landed on that fuelling strategy, what products she used and her overall philosophy on nutrition for triathlon as a female athlete.   LINKS Connect with Liz on Instagram @liz_blatchford Join the waitlist for our next Triathlon Nutrition Academy opening in July! www.dietitianapproved.com/academy Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist Website: www.dietitianapproved.com Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved  @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: www.facebook.com/DietitianApproved   The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved.
