What do a rookie, a masters athlete and a seasoned racer all have in common? 

They nailed their nutrition strategy - and the results speak for themselves.

In this episode, Taryn sits down with three very different athletes from the Triathlon Nutrition Academy - Jo, Kelly and Erin - to unpack the surprising impact of getting their fuelling right. Each had their own goals, challenges and training loads, but all saw game-changing results after implementing the same evidence-based framework.

If you’ve ever wondered whether nutrition could be your missing link, this episode will show you what’s possible when you get it right.

51:00 – Advice for triathletes: When (and why) to start focusing on nutrition
58:00 – Final takeaways: What they'd tell their pre-TNA selves

Key Takeaways
