The Fourth Discipline: Nutrition
Triathlons, particularly Ironman events, are often viewed as a three-sport challenge involving swimming, biking, and running. However, a critical fourth discipline is nutrition, which plays a vital role in performance and recovery during endurance events. Athletes need to effectively manage their calorie and carbohydrate intake to maintain energy levels and physical capabilities throughout the race. The podcast emphasizes that successful triathletes have mastered this nutritional aspect, making it as crucial as the physical components of the race.
