That Triathlon Show Workout fuelling - best practices of top coaches | EP#306
Personalized Training and Nutrition
- Understand your athletic strengths and weaknesses relative to your goals.
- Then, tailor your training and nutrition to address those specific needs.
Training Camp Fallacy
- Athletes often arrive at training camps aiming to improve fitness and lose weight simultaneously.
- Frank Jakobsen advises against this, emphasizing the counterproductive nature of restricting calories during intense training.
Goal-Oriented Fueling
- Define your training goals and how nutrition can support them.
- Fueling adequately, especially during long rides, is crucial for maximizing training stimulus and avoiding self-sabotage.
In this episode, coaches Frank Jakobsen, Val Burke, Kolie Moore, Ryan Bolton and Björn Kafka each give their perspective and recommendations on how to fuel workouts.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-How much energy to consume for different kinds of workouts?
-In what form should you consume energy?
-Pre- and post-workout fuelling
-Is there a time and place for "training low" - i.e. training in a state of low glycogen (e.g. fasted training)
