So with the help of our friends at Precision Fuel & Hydration, we’re going to explain the most common failures, & how to prevent them.

Excellent show, ty
I learne3d the hard way during my half marathon this fall that I needed more electrolytes than water. I'm a super sweater...and I didn't consume enough electrolytes. I thought my gels were enough...they weren't. It totally makes sense that people who sweat more need more electrolytes.
I'm a major fan of doing the race distance IN training. At least once a month depending on your choice of discipline. Maybe once a week if it's a super sprint tri. It will iron out aaaaaall potential issues
My favorite pre-race breakfast is (vegan) pancakes.
Porridge with milk!!!………always with water
Did my first tri today, and my nutrition fail was I sucked down Gu too fast I choked on it while on the bike. It was too sticky and I had to slow down to chug down lots of water and caused some pain on my sides.
great advices, thanks
Thanks for a very informative and clearly presented video. I used the calculator/planner on Precision Fuel and Hydration’s website to plan for Ironman Waco this year. It played out as well as it possibly could have on a 95 degree day. In particular I would have been well short on sodium had I not used this planner. Thanks very much for helping me get to the finish in a race with a 31% DNF rate.
You are cheating ;)
Too much carbs and too low carbs are not two mistakes. You could say wrong amount of carbs.
Same with liquid.
So to me you counted 5 mistakes not 7 😊
Oh yes, I have failed miserably with my nutrition. I thought I had a good plan and was on target. at around mile 70 of a 100-mile ride, I found myself unable to choke down any more food/gummies/gels. My stomach was bloated and I wanted to vomit. It seems like nutrition is somewhat of a moving target - I was ok with the same fuel intake in other rides, but not in this one? It makes me nervous for my next big ride because I was miserable the last couple of hours and so happy for it to be over.
A fantastic video. Great information clearly presented for age-groupers.
Lovely video . Perfect xxxxxxxxxx
I <3 Soreen
mmm a couple of grilled salmon fillets for breakfast is just what you need....
youtube.com/results?search_query=%23gtncoachescorner #gtncoachescorner I had Thai for dinner last night. I’m wondering if some types of pasta is better to eat than others prior to racing.
When he first talked about sweat and fluids @ 1EpxhwHOxLo&t=3m47s 3:47 I thought he was going to say, “…we sweat a lot especially you mark!” 😂
I do watch my nutrition in my training but do not take as serious as say a professional triathlete would. I am a senior age grouper. To not watch what I consume would take away the fun of doing the races. Good information here on this video. I do follow much of what is presented here. TOO MUCH CAFFEINE? Thats my blood type! Coffee anyone?Cheers
I’m always shocked to realize people don’t realize hydration doesn’t mean just water. Electrolytes are essential just during a regular day. Even more so during an event! And not just sodium, but something that has a more complete electrolyte profile will do you a world of good. Good video, guys :)
Alas I remember all too well a race where I ate the wrong thing right before and I didn’t most of my race running from porter potty to porter potty and at the finish my body decided that way was too inefficient and I threw up whatever was left in my stomach
