Ever wonder what actually goes on in my Triathlon Nutrition Academy? Well you’re in luck! 

For today’s episode, I invited three athletes - Ben Meier, Tony Hampton, and Kathleen Gilton - who have already been through the program, to share their experiences. We dive into how the program works, the issues they were facing when they started, and the differences they’ve seen in their performance. 

Starting with Ben, he was a marathon runner before he started triathlon so running was his strongest leg. However, because his nutrition wasn’t up to scratch he became exhausted by mid-race and struggled in the run. 

Through the Academy, Ben learned about periodised nutrition, mastering the balance of eating more during intense training periods and reducing intake during recovery phases. This adjustment was crucial in smashing personal bests and maintaining energy balance during races.

Kathleen returned to triathlon after many years and struggled with unpredictable GI issues during her training. However, with tailored guidance on nutrition specifics and carb-loading techniques, Kathleen regained her confidence and expanded her race goals.

Tony was struggling to properly fuel himself as a diabetic and wasn’t getting nearly enough carbohyrates or sodium. Through the academy, he learned how to adequately fuel his body even with diabetes, leading to improved recovery and race preparation.

Each of these athletes faced different challenges, but their key takeaway was the same: proper nutrition is essential. Whether you’re a beginner tackling your first triathlon or an experienced athlete looking to improve, nutrition makes all the difference. And that’s what the Triathlon Nutrition Academy is all about. 

 It’s packed with 36 masterclasses spread over nine months and tools like meal planners, hydration calculators, and spreadsheets for race day planning. The goal is to give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to tailor your nutrition plan to your needs. 

But it’s not just about the nutrition strategies; it's also about the community that comes with the program. Weekly live sessions provide an opportunity to ask questions and receive personalised advice, ensuring athletes are not only informed but also held accountable. 

Tony mentions how this regular check-in has helped keep him on track, transforming his nutrition habits for the better. For Kathleen, having a strong support network has given her the confidence to take on new challenges! 

 

So if you’re on the fence about joining the Triathlon Nutrition Academy, the message from our alumni is clear: dive in! No matter where you are on your triathlon journey, or what you’re struggling with, our program will guide you every step of the way to mastering your nutrition.
