The Fourth Discipline
Nutrition is said to be the fourth discipline in triathlon, and for many, it’s the trickiest to understand and perfect.
But even if you’re not a nutrition expert, there are a number of tools you can use to hack your way to better fueling and hydration. Here are a few.
Nutrition Calculator
This tool allows you to optimize your water, sodium, calories, and carbs based on over 200 different popular endurance fuels, drinks, and supplements.
No-BS Guide to Triathlon Nutrition
I’ve put together a video showing you how to plan your nutrition for a half or full Ironman.
I cover things like what to eat and drink the day before; what to take before the swim, on the bike, during the run; how to carry it all; when to eat and drink; how much to eat and drink, and much more.
Sweat Calculator
The sweat calculator helps you record and track your sweat losses over a variety of conditions.
It gives you instructions on how to measure your sodium loss so you know how much sodium to replace during different race distances and conditions.
