Triathlon Nutrition Academy Taryn Richardson

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.

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.

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.

What blood tests or biomarkers do you need to test as an active endurance athlete?

 

You may have seen lots of companies offering blood tests for triathletes lately and it can be hard to know if it’s worth doing or a complete waste of time.

 

As always, I think it’s important you’re equipped with some knowledge and understanding before doing something like this. So you can make informed decisions and, most importantly, understand the results and what to do about it.

 

In this episode I’ll explain:


Why do routine blood tests as a triathlete?
What things should you test for and why?
When should you do blood tests and how frequently?
How to interpret your results and how to rectify any abnormalities 

 

Please note: this is not personal medical advice – see a sports physician if you’re not sure about you and your specific circumstances.
