Fitter Radio: Triathlon, Endurance, Nutrition

The term 'gut training' is thrown around a lot these days, but what does this actually mean?  We share excerpts from the podcast “The Long Munch: Fueling Endurance - Nutrition podcast for runners, cyclists & triathletes” where sports dietitians Steph Gaskell & Alan McCubbin take us through what we mean by gut training, why would runners, cyclists or triathletes want to do it, what is the evidence that it works and how you go about gut training. Clive Asplen won the free entry to IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong. We find out more about him. We chat to professional triathlete and 2 x Olympian Aaron Royle about his swim training. Aaron shares with us his weekly load and details the specific work and consistency required to maintain and improve your swim including stroke rate, force production and feeling comfortable in the water.
