Description
Imagine crossing the finish line, but this time instead of being in agony you have a smile, a shout, and that feeling that comes with smashing a PR.
Triathletes - do you know exactly what you should be eating and drinking before, during, and after every workout and race?
This course will teach you how to eat and drink in order feel great, power your workouts, and avoid the dreaded bonk!
As a sports dietitian I've helped athletes complete over 100 full and half-Ironman races, and hundreds of sprint and Olympic distance races. Together we will figure out your calorie and fluid needs, measure your sweat rate, and create a fueling plan for your training and racing, all without going too deep into the science.
This course is all about providing a solid foundation without getting bogged down with nuance... "Just tell me what works!"
Don't be fooled by the low price of this course, you will receive a tremendous value from taking it. For the price of a few drinks, you will be able to improve your training, recovery, and racing performance not just for your upcoming race, but for every race you do!
