    32: Daily Nutrition Habits for Triathlon Success

    32: Daily Nutrition Habits for Triathlon Success

    Having a strong foundation of healthy nutrition habits is key to setting up yourself for better health, performance and longevity as a triathlete. 
    In today's podcast, you will learn about what and how to eat on a daily basis to ensure you are meeting your nutrient needs and fuelling training and recovery. 
    When it comes to triathlon nutrition, I like to think of this as a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is what you eat and drink on a regular basis. It's crucial to get these habits down first. Next, comes pre-during and post workout nutrition and then supplements. 
    Listen to learn about how to build a strong base of nutrition habits.
