Sinopsis

Every triathlete should listen to this podcast. We go deep into hydration and fueling and keep the solutions simple. We look at why most triathletes don’t take in enough sodium. We look at traditional sports drinks and explain why they likely need to be supplemented. We talk about too much peeing, hypoglycemia, and extreme thirst and what they indicate. We get into solid foods vs. gels and explain what might be best for you. We talk about fueling on race morning and why you could be setting yourself up for disaster as early as the swim. We also get into how you can dial in your nutrition for different types of workouts. We talk about the root cause of cramping, some myths about high blood pressure, and how our traditional fueling may be at the root of why so many triathletes have a hard time losing weight.
