This week we sit down with professional triathlete Cameron Main.

We chat about winning his first Ironman, racing the best athletes in the world, training at the highest level, dealing with setbacks and the mindset needed to chase the top step in Kona.

An incredible insight into the lessons, challenges and reality of becoming one of the best triathletes in the world

What happens after race day?

So many athletes spend months chasing a goal, cross the finish line and then suddenly feel lost with no direction or purpose.

In this podcast we dive into:

How successful athletes reflect after races
Why your next goal matters
How to stay motivated after your big event
Setting targets that keep you progressing
Building the mindset of an athlete for the long term

The finish line isn’t the end point. It’s the next step in becoming a better person & athlete.

You can have the perfect training plan, hit every swim, bike and run session, but if you don’t understand how to fuel properly you will always leave performance on the table.

We’re going to cover:

The biggest nutrition mistakes endurance athletes make
How to fuel your training sessions properly
Race day fuelling strategies
Carbs, hydration and electrolytes
How to avoid blowing up, stomach issues and energy crashes

If you have a race coming up this season, this is one you don’t want to miss.
