Dive into the world of swimming mastery with our expert, Brenton Ford from Effortless Swimming.

In this episode, Brenton spills the beans on common mistakes he sees triathletes make with their technique, and how you can avoid them to swim faster, easier and injury-free.

He gives some really practical strategies to enhance your shoulder mobility and range of motion before swimming, ensuring your elbow position is optimised, allowing you to glide through the water with precision. 

Brenton also shares the types of training environments that lead to swim success and specific cues that he's been using with his swimmers that have made a world of difference in their technique. 

Plus, learn the best and easiest way to film yourself swimming for easy, effective analysis to fine-tune your stroke.

Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just dipping your toes into the water (pun intended!), this episode is a must listen!

Not all gels are created equal! Some are definitely better than others but it also comes down to your personal preference on flavour, texture, cost and how gels fit into your overall race nutrition plan.

In this episode I talk you through triathlon nutrition gels:

• What to look for when buying gels
• Can they be mixed with water? And what does Isotonic mean?
• Do gels need to be consumed all at once?
• Why do gels upset some athletes stomachs? Plus two suggestions on how to fix this
• How much do you need during endurance events?
• Alternatives to gels all together!

Sports gels are a big minefield of information with new products coming on the market all the time. But I’m hoping this episode fast tracks your research when it comes to finding what’s best for you.

We take a closer look at their 2023 triathlon journeys and find out what game changing strategies they’ve been working on with their nutrition.

Plus set our sights on 2024 and what goals they’re hoping to achieve now they have 9 months of evidence-based nutrition education under their fuel belt.

Welcome back for 2024! We are kicking off the new year with a bang and my sports dietitian insights into five of the big trends we’re going to see in the triathlon nutrition space.

Some are new-ish, while others have been trending for a little while now but don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. I’m also calling it on something that I think is going to die in 2024.

In no particular order of importance or performance boosting powers (or lack of) they are:

1. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)
2. Female Athlete Nutrition 
3. Intermittent Fasting
4. Body Composition
5. Adaptogens 

If you've decided 2024 is the year you're going to work on the fourth leg...nutrition!

Butttt

There's just one problem...

You have no idea where to start!

Because there is so much (mis)information on the internet, it's overwhelming and confusing deciphering whats a trend vs what’s worthwhile.

It blows my mind how much money people spend on the wrong nutrition advice and supplements! Triathlon is an expensive sport as it is without flushing your money down the toilet on things you don’t need or that simply aren’t effective.

Joining me for this episode are two Triathlon Nutrition Academy athletes Chris Tubbs and Kelly Estes. They both candidly share how much money they are SAVING each month since joining the TNA program. I was honestly blown away by the full extent of it! 

For both of them, they are saving more money than what the entire program costs!! Just insane!

So if you’re looking for some clarity around the right sports foods and supplements you should invest in, vs the ones you can save your money on, come and join us inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy!

DOORS OPEN 15th JANUARY!

So many athletes smash themselves at training with no regard for how they're fuelling or recovering.

But we only adapt (i.e. get fitter and faster) from the sessions we recover from.

So if you want to get the most out of your training, you need to learn how to unlock your SUPERCHARGED ZONE. It’s the sweet spot where training and nutrition intersect. And is the secret to becoming a better triathlete. 

But how do you unlock your Supercharged Zone?

1.     You need to train
2.     You need to eat to support that training

My job, as an Advanced Sports Dietitian is to fast track your success when it comes to triathlon nutrition. Working with triathletes for many years in private practice and through my role at Triathlon Australia, I noticed there were some key elements triathletes needed to dial in first as a priority, to feel supercharged. Introducing … my SUPERCHARGED Triathlete Formula…

The SUPERCHARGED Triathlete Formula

1. Recovery Nutrition
2. Pre-Training Nutrition
3. Periodisation
4. Run Fuel
5. Ride Fuel
6. Carb-Loading
7. Hydration
8. Supplements – the right ones that will benefit you, not burn a hole in your pocket

I dive into each and every one, in detail, inside the Triathlon Nutrition Academy.

I’ll teach you why it’s important, then how to do it. And every week you get to pick my brain, live in Power Hour, to make sure you have your very own custom plan, that’s perfect for you. 

Triathlon Nutrition Academy Doors open again on January 15th! 

If you think nutrition is the missing link for you, come and join us! I will teach you everything you need to know, to feel like a SUPERCHARGED triathlete!
