Feeling festive but don’t want to blow your training gains?

In this episode of the Triathlon Nutrition Academy podcast, I’m diving into how alcohol really affects your performance as an endurance athlete—and what you can do about it. Whether you're mid-race season in Australia or base building in a snowy Northern Hemisphere winter, alcohol could be undermining your training, recovery and body comp more than you think.

I’m not here to take away your Christmas cheer. But I am here to help you understand the science, so you can enjoy the silly season without YOLO-ing your way to burnout.

What you’ll learn:

• What alcohol actually does in your body
• How alcohol affects training, recovery and sleep

• The impact on muscle repair, glycogen and immune function
• What the research says about performance and endurance
• Seven practical strategies to navigate the festive season
