The Purple Patch Podcast ‘Triathlon Takeover’ continues with a step-by-step guide to race-day fueling and hydration with Sports Scientist and Precision Hydration Co-Founder, Andy Blow. Matt and Andy identify and explain the three levers of race fueling: fluids (water), electrolytes, and calories/carbohydrates and then outline your race day fueling prescription depending on race intensity, distance, and race conditions. You'll receive expert guidance and recommendation around: -
Meal Planning - what to eat and what to avoid during race week, the day before, and the morning of your event -
Fueling and suggested fueling ideas during each discipline of the triathlon including T1, the bike, and the run -
Knowing your nutrition and hydration ranges and what conditions can affect those numbers
This discussion takes the complexity out of the 'fourth discipline' of triathlon that is often plagued by confusion and overwhelm. Their biggest piece of advice? "Don't look over the fence. There are always good reasons why you shouldn't follow the herd when it comes to YOUR fueling strategy.” This is your year of performance and Purple Patch is here to help!
