In this episode, Jonny is joined by Tom McClure, the Performance Nutrition Lead here at Omnia Performance.

They discuss the topic of body composition and the various considerations when trying to lose weight as a Hybrid Athlete.

Trying to lean down for that new PB or "summer body" is great, however, there are many potential negatives to it. If it's not managed correctly, it could result in a big performance drop, poor recovery, increased injury risk, low energy in day to day life and much more.

That's why in this episode, Tom shares some tips to implement into your nutrition strategy for the next time you want to lose weight and still see progress in your training.
