Send us a textIn this episode we talk with pro triathlete Meg Dirito about:What a training day of a pro triathlete looks likePrepping for a raceRace day nutritionMeg Dirito is a pro triathlete, Division 1 elite swimmer, mom, wife, and emergency veterinarian. She's been an athlete since she was a child, going from dancer to elite level gymnast, swimmer, then on to field hockey, and track. She was recruited by D1 schools for the latter three, but ultimately chose her first love, swimming, attending Bucknell University. There, she set meet, league and school records that had stood for more than 10 years. She qualified for NCAAs and Olympic Trials and was inducted into the Bucknell Sports Hall of Fame. It wasn't until 2018 that she picked up a bike to race, and had her husband - who was a cyclist at North Carolina State University - teach her how to ride. After a self-taught first year, she qualified for Worlds 70.3, then started to train for the full distance. As an age grouper, she qualified for 5 world championships, including Kona, and took her professional license in 2023. Aside from triathlon, she races masters swimming in pool and open water, and also competes in marathon distances.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.Connect w/ Meg: IG: www.instagram.com/dirito21/TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@megdiritoFacebook: www.facebook.com/meghan.freesedirito/Mentioned:Supplements that Improve Performance CourseSkratch Super Hi-Carb: https://amzn.to/3Swt2YKSkratch Hydration: https://amzn.to/3ZeoGZWLong Run Coffee (use code SUNNYSOCAL for 15% off): www.longruncoffee.comNuun: https://amzn.to/3H4PbL8Maurten: https://amzn.to/3YI6TudPrime Caffeine: https://amzn.to/455vsFeCronometer PRO: https://p.bttr.to/3y1VneETruvani: https://amzn.to/3S2sObOTart Cherry: https://amzn.to/42WJDv1AltRed: https://amzn.to/3F5ZpuePillar Performance, Available on TheFeed: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolutionMORE NR New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWPOD10 If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/ Save 20% on all supplements at our trusted online source: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannell Join Nutritional Revolution's The Feed Club to get $20 off right away with an additional $20 Feed credit drop every 90 days.: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolution If you're interested in sponsoring Nutritional Revolution Podcast, shoot us an email at nutritionalrev@gmail.com.

Send us a textOn this latest episode its great to chat to an Agegrouper who represents New Zealand.Rebecca says "I'm a New Zealand age group triathlete and particularly enjoy sprint and off-road triathlon such as XTERRA. I started running for fitness at university and evolved into triathlon and all things swim bike run. I enjoyed pushing my limits and seeing what I was capable of. I have competed in various World Triathlon events for NZ, including two Cross Triathlons, Duathlon, Aquathlons and Sprint Triathlon. I have also raced several XTERRA events, and love trying out all sorts of multisport including swim run and gravel - I recently did the TransCape swimrun in Dunsborough. I also enjoy bikepacking and have ridden some epic trips in NZ. I've also enjoyed a couple of epic camps in NZ run by John Newsom from the IM Talk podcast. In NZ I ended up with a group of friends who loved doing endurance adventures! This winter I'm training for the Larapinta trail run in August in Alice Springs and the Gravel Muster the weekend after. This will be an awesome training camp 2 months out for World Champs in Wollongong in October where I'm representing NZ in the sprint. I am associated with the Fremantle Triathlon Club in Western Australia and have previously been a member of Wellington Triathlon Club, Tauranga Triathlon Club in NZ and the Thames Valley Triathletes in the UK which is where it all started for me! I have a personal website (made2move.fit) where I share my passion for movement and outdoor endurance events.

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I sit down with Charlie Proctor—personal trainer, musician, and corporate wellness coach—who shares his incredible journey from being a 300-pound teenager to becoming a disciplined athlete, triathlete, and coach.We dive deep into:
Nailing your training but can't shift those stubborn kilos? Maybe you’re battling gut issues despite a dialled-in nutrition plan or even dragging yourself through sessions after a solid 8 hours sleep. If this sounds all too familiar, it might be that your thyroid has been flying under the radar. As a sports dietitian, I'm seeing more triathletes pushing through these warning signs – constant fatigue, resistant weight, bloating, and mysterious gut problems – not realising there's a tiny butterfly-shaped gland in their neck calling the shots. Thyroid health isn’t my area of specialty so today I’m joined by Registered Dietitian and Functional Practitioner, Alisha Knicely, to talk about about how this powerful gland affects everything from your race-day performance to your Monday morning motivation. Diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease in 2017, Alisha’s drive to understand what was happening in her body was a turning point in her career. She now specialises in Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism and helps her clients to reverse the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. The Performance Powerhouse You're Overlooking Your thyroid is your body's metabolic control centre. It regulates your heart rate, energy levels, and even how quickly you bounce back from those brutal brick sessions. For triathletes pushing their bodies to the limit, optimal thyroid function isn't just helpful – it's essential. The Nutrient Trifecta Want your thyroid firing on all cylinders? You need three key players: iodine, selenium, and zinc. But here's the catch – more isn't always better. Like race-day nutrition, it's about getting the balance right. Strategic food choices like seafood, organ meats, and nuts can deliver these nutrients without the risks of over-supplementation. Red Flags You Can't Ignore If you're experiencing: - Unexplained fatigue despite proper rest - Stubborn weight changes - Slower recovery between sessions - Mood swings affecting your training drive It's time for a proper thyroid assessment. Don't guess – get tested. A comprehensive blood panel including TSH, T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies will tell you exactly where you stand. The Overtraining Connection Think you can push through anything? Think again. Excessive training without proper recovery can throw your thyroid into chaos. Those sleepless nights and persistent fatigue aren't badges of honour – they're warnings that your body needs a different approach. Your Action Plan for Optimal Thyroid Function Fuel Smart: Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods that support thyroid function Guard Your Gut: Your thyroid depends on proper nutrient absorption Manage Stress: Yes, that includes training stress – more isn't always better Beyond the Basics Living with a thyroid condition doesn't mean hanging up your tri suit. Whether you're managing Hashimoto's or just optimising your performance, it's about working with your body, not against it. Regular monitoring and professional guidance can keep you racing strong.

Patient Jon Bohnsack understands endurance. A different kind of endurance was tested when doctors discovered head and neck cancer. Learn about his treatments that didn't even require surgery.
Join Coach Chris Newport, lead performance nutritionist at The Endurance Edge, who discusses how race day nutrition for endurance events lasting over two hours isn't one-size-fits-all. It takes a personalized, well-rehearsed plan that accounts for your unique physiology, the demands of your race, and the realities of fueling on the go. When done right, it can be the difference between crushing your goals and crawling to the finish.Tune in to learn:Why sticking to a single carbohydrate source might limit your performance—and how mixing the right types can unlock up to 90g/hour of energy.When your fueling strategy can fall apart if your gut isn't ready—and how to “train your gut” like you train your legs.How hydration needs shift with heat, intensity, and even your outfit—and why copying someone else's strategy could backfire.What sweat testing reveals about your personal fluid and electrolyte losses—and how this data helps you fuel smarter, not harder.How to top off your energy stores before the race without risking gut issues—and which common mistakes to avoid.Why race-day nerves might sabotage digestion—and how to keep your gut in the game when stress levels rise.What to do when things don't go as planned—because having a Plan B (and C) can save your race.Want to perform your best at your next endurance event?

Do you ever wake up feeling shattered but you just make yourself train hard anyway? I know it sounds like the thing you should do, but is that actually the best thing for your recovery, your performance and ultimately, your body? As triathletes, we’re masters at tracking watts, pace, and heart rate but there's another metric that could revolutionise your training decisions. Enter Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – your body's daily report card on recovery and readiness. Today I'm getting nerdy with Daniel Roland from HRV4Training to learn how tracking your HRV can help you get the most out of your training sessions, understand your recovery and avoid burnout. And all it takes is one minute every morning. What's HRV and Why Should You Care? Think of HRV as your body's daily stress barometer. It measures the variation between your heartbeats, giving you a window into your nervous system's state. Low HRV? Your body's in fight-or-flight mode. High HRV? You're recovering well and ready to tackle those key sessions. For triathletes juggling three sports and the demands of life, this is the kind of data you want to know. The HRV4Training App The HRV4Training app turns your smartphone into a sophisticated recovery monitoring device. Created by computer scientist Marco Altini, you don’t need any expensive or annoying gadgets – just your phone's camera and your finger for a 60-second morning check. The Science Behind Smarter Training Research shows athletes who adjust their training based on HRV perform better, even when doing fewer intense sessions. Think about that – better results with more strategic, not necessarily more, training. It's about training smarter, not harder. How to measure your HRV Consistency is key here and by measuring at the same time each morning, you’ll get a baseline of your individual scores so you can understand when your body is in a state of stress. Unlike other apps that present HRV data with an unknown algorithmic value, HRV4Training gives you raw data so you can understand how variabilities such as training sessions, sleep, nutrition, alcohol, menstrual cycles and life stressors impact your body. Daniel explains how the app's tracking features help you connect the dots between your lifestyle choices and recovery capacity. It's like having a personal performance detective. While HRV isn't a strict training dictator, it's an objective adviser when you're unsure about whether you should push through or perhaps back off a little.

In this gripping episode of The Brick Session, host Mark Livesey sits down with former elite triathlete and anti-doping advocate Nate Llerandi to explore one of sport's most controversial topics: why some athletes choose to cheat. From the psychology of performance pressure to the gray areas of intent, Mark and Nate don't hold back when they discuss the motivations behind doping.They also examine the uphill battle faced by drug testing agencies, including the technical challenges and legal loopholes that make securing convictions incredibly difficult. Plus, brace yourself for a few of the most absurd excuses ever offered by busted athletes, including the infamous "sexually transmitted doping" and the "kissing my girlfriend who took something" defense.

Today I’m chatting with Jo Hurley, mum of 4, Award-Winning Businesswoman and determined triathlete, who started her triathlon journey completely winging her nutrition. You wouldn't show up to a race without training. You wouldn't tackle an Ironman without a pacing strategy. So why are you still winging it with your nutrition? I see it so often - talented triathletes meticulously tracking every training metric while completely guessing their way through fuelling. They take supplements they think they need and fuel their bodies based on nutrition plans that haven't been developed for their specific bodies. After decades of working hard and smart in business, Jo found herself in early retirement with the schedule most triathletes dream of - the ability to train like a pro. But even with a solid commitment to training and a rock strong mindset, a major piece of the puzzle was missing: The right nutrition plan. Jo shares why her haphazard approach to fuelling was detrimental to her training and her longevity goals and how joining the Triathlon Nutrition Academy (TNA) to learn about proper fuelling has taken her to the next level in training, recovery and performance. A solid nutrition plan to fuel your body As a highly successful accountant in the self managed super fund industry, Jo knew the importance of strategic planning in business. But when it came to fuelling her triathlon journey, she had no idea what she was doing. Despite her natural athleticism, her quarterly DEXA scans were showing an increase in visceral fat levels, courtesy of a high fat, low-carb diet that simply wasn't serving her training needs. Like many triathletes I work with, Jo discovered that copying nutrition advice from others – particularly male training partners – was a fast track to underperformance. What worked for the 90kg male smashing his ironman training simply wasn't right for her body and her goals. Underfuelling and lack of recovery Joining TNA marked a pivotal shift in Jo's approach. Her biggest breakthrough? Understanding that under-fuelling wasn't just affecting her performance – it was impacting her health. The right nutrition strategy isn't about restriction; it's about strategic fuelling for both training demands and overall wellbeing. Reflecting back on the early days of her triathlon journey and the mistakes she made with her fuelling and recovery, Jo is a huge advocate for building a nutrition strategy as early in your triathlon journey as possible. Now, armed with the knowledge she has gained in just phase one of the Triathlon Nutrition Academy program, Jo is throwing herself into local and international events with newfound confidence and energy. She just completed Geelong 70.3 and has one of the fullest race calendars I’ve ever seen. With her strategic nutrition plan in place and the incredible support from the TNA community, I can’t wait to see where Jo’s triathlon journey takes her.

Coach Chris Newport explores the most common fueling and hydration mistakes that wreck performance and sometimes lead to dangerous health complications for endurance athletes, like:• Guessing with nutrition instead of using science-based approaches tailored to individual needs• Using the "kitchen sink approach" by throwing random products at problems like cramping without understanding root causes• Failing to train your gut alongside physical training for at least 8-12 weeks before events• Choosing the wrong types of carbohydrates that slow gastric emptying during exercise• Using identical fueling strategies across different distances and conditions rather than adjusting for intensity and environment• Ignoring underlying GI conditions that impact performance and fuel utilization• Overusing or improperly balancing electrolytes, especially sodium and potassium, which can be potentially fatalTo help you stop guessing and start fueling and hydrating with confidence, we just released our brand new hydration guide.
