412 Age Group Story: Jessie Hassall

Have you ever wondered what it takes for professional athletes to be able to deliver the jaw-dropping performances we see? Having spoken to and quizzed many of the world's best triathletes over the years, it's really clear how they train, why they train like that, what they prioritise and why. I share the details n this video, and I can guarantee the things that have the biggest material impact on their fitness and performances aren't what you think! * * * * * * * * SPONSORS * * * * * * * * Like what you heard in this show?

Fuelling (hydration, electrolytes & nutrition) can so easily derail your performance on race day, even if you're in the shape of your life. In fact for many age-group triathletes, it's an afterthought. So many people jeopardise the hundreds of hours of training they've completed by not taking care of fluid and calorie needs on race day. Do you know your sweat rate? The amount and concentration of sweat you typically lose per hour? And how it varies in different conditions? Or how many calories & carbs you need in order to fuel yourself effectively? And can you actually absorb the amount you need without ending up in the portaloo queue? I talk about all these things and more in this video. If you're an age-group triathlete who wants their race performance to be a great reflection of your capabilities and dedication to training, this is a MUST WATCH * * * * * * * * SPONSORS * * * * * * * * Like what you heard in this show?

If you've ever been tempted to train when you're feeling under the weather, because you're worried that you'll lose fitness if you don't, this video is a must-watch for you! This week I talk about common mistakes I see athletes make when they're ill or injured, and why more often than not their gut-instinct risks significant damage to their training progress. But good news - I also provide really simple, unambiguous protocols of how to navigate illness from a training perspective, such that you'll lose minimal fitness and be back to full strength as fast as possible * * * * * * * * SPONSORS * * * * * * * * Like what you heard in this show?
