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

What happens when your race goals collide with toddlers, ER visits, and zero sleep?

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Joseph – a busy triathlete, full-time professional and dad of three – who managed to pull off a massive 45-minute PB at his 70.3, despite life being a total circus. From missed sessions to emergency room visits mid-race, Brian shares what it really takes to train smart and fuel well in the real world.

We dive into:
Meet Brian – Full-time life, full-time triathlete
His pre-TNA nutrition journey: veganism, guesswork and Googling
Making the TNA program work around chaos
Key learnings: why recovery and protein made the biggest difference
How meal planning tools created daily structure
45-minute PB – what actually changed?
Race nutrition vs heat – what went wrong in Chattanooga
Juggling racing with a trip to the ER
Recovery done right – what helped the most
Gaining control through better nutrition planning
Advice for triathletes with young families
When everything went pear shaped pre-race sim
What TNA gave him that made life feel less overwhelming

Whether you're chasing Kona, trying to hold it all together or just want to fuel better through the madness, Brian’s story is a real, relatable listen.
