About this episode
You're logging hours in the pool, on the bike, and pounding the pavement. Your training plan is dialled in, your gear is sorted, yet something's still not clicking. If your nutrition is off, you might be flushing months of hard work down the drain without even realising it. Today, I want to expose the real – and often hidden – costs of poor nutrition that go far beyond a disappointing race result or mid-run gut disaster. We're talking about wasted time, money, and energy that quietly sabotages your performance, recovery, and progress. These hidden costs accumulate faster than you think, which is why getting your nutrition sorted is the smartest performance investments you can make as a triathlete. I see so many triathletes fall into the trap of trying to figure out their nutrition on their own. Unfortunately, without proper planning and strategy, nutrition becomes an expensive mistake rather than a performance investment. But, when nutrition is optimised, everything improves. Training feels better, recovery accelerates and you stop wasting money on products and supplements that aren’t doing you any good anyway. This is why the Triathlon Nutrition Academy exists and the doors are opening soon – to prevent you from wasting years trying to piece together fragmented information. This isn't just nutrition education; it's an investment in faster racing, improved training returns, and long-term health. And if you think nutrition education is expensive, calculate the true cost of getting it wrong.
