In this episode of TheTriathlonCoach SWATcast, your host Simon Ward answers more listener questions. This week the discussion is centred around nutrition, a topic that promotes even more chatter than swimming. Nutrition is recognised by most triathletes as being an important part of their performance and yet it remains an under utilised ‘training tool’. In this show Simon covers a whole range of topics including:
- The critical importance of planning and preparation for your everyday nutrition
- Why day to day nutrition is waaaay more important than race day nutrition
- 10 simple to follow Clean Eating rules
- How to lose weight while training hard
- Judging portion sizes without using scales
- Some suggestions for sports nutrition cook books
- Nutrition before, during, and after training
- How to manipulate your nutrition for different durations of triathlon events
