In this episode, I sit down with Australian pro triathlete Grace Thek to talk about her transition from middle distance to full distance triathlon. Grace recently made her debut at Challenge Roth, and she opens up about how her training and nutrition had to shift to meet the demands of racing long distance. She shares what it was like overcoming injuries, how she gradually built up her fueling strategy to hit 94 grams of carbs per hour, and why consistency was key to maintaining energy right through to the finish. We also chat about the lessons she’s learned along the way, the importance of practicing nutrition in training, and her advice for new triathletes — from enjoying the journey to being well-prepared on race day.
