POV: you’re 6+ hours into an Ironman bike and your taste buds have officially had enough of sweet gels. 😂

Enter… the salty little rice ball of dreams. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

🍚 Sticky rice
🍯 Golden syrup
🧂 Rolled in salt

Sweet. Salty. Squishy.
Not winning any Michelin stars… but at hour 6, this is basically fine dining. 😂

Because there comes a point in Ironman training when another gel feels like a personal attack.

Ironman Wales… here we come. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Half Ironman .. race start 11am .. up at 6 ! How do you fuel! ?
….
Break it down ! It’s a lot of carbs to fit in! Keep it low fat, low fibre and moderate protein and don’t forget fluid!

Meal 1 - porridge oats (60g) lots of honey. OJ at least 400mls and coffee. Perfect balance of glucose and fructose

Meal 2 - in car .. 1 white bagel with jam and peanut butter cut into pieces for easy grazing. Banana again in slices , doesn’t feel overwhelming! Flapjack .. again in bite size bits. + bottle of carb mix

Pre swim top up - gel ! And sips carb mix

Planning your run around toilet stops? 🏃‍♂️💩

A few nutrition tweaks can make a HUGE difference to gut comfort and performance.

✅ Hydrate properly the DAY BEFORE
✅ Reduce fibre & heavy foods 2–4 hrs pre-run (low FODMAP works well for some runners)
✅ Don’t cut foods out long term without support

Your gut is trainable too — and persistent symptoms shouldn’t be ignored.

A sports dietitian can help identify triggers, support gut health, and create a structured food exclusion/reintroduction plan without compromising performance.

Training late? 🌙🏃‍♂️
Unsure how to fuel recovery without overthinking it?

Remember the 3 R’s of recovery 👇

🥤 REFUEL – replace energy with carbs
💪 REPAIR – include protein for muscle recovery
💧 REHYDRATE – fluids + electrolytes matter too

A quick homemade recovery shake can tick all 3 boxes in minutes ⏱️

✨ Quick recovery shake recipe:
🥛 300ml milk
🥄 2 tbsp skimmed milk powder
🍌 1 banana
🍓 Handful frozen berries
🍯 1 tsp honey

Blend & go ⚡️

No expensive supplements needed.
Simple food works 👏

HYROX isn’t just about how you train… it’s about how you FUEL 👊

What you eat the DAY BEFORE can massively impact:
⚡ Energy
💪 Strength
🏃 Endurance
🫃 Gut comfort
🧠 Focus

Most athletes underfuel, dehydrate, or eat foods their stomach hates the night before 😅

Keep it SIMPLE:
✔ Easy carbs
✔ Moderate protein
✔ Lower fat + fibre
✔ Hydrate consistently
✔ Small regular meals
✔ Pre-bed recovery snack

You don’t need “perfect” nutrition… you need SMART nutrition.

Save this for your next HYROX 🔥

Llanelli sprint Tri Race day fuelling nutrition plan

Carbohydrate stores optimised 48 hrs pre race
Then ..
On the day ..
Aim 210g carbs, IL fluid (pre race) + electrolytes
All spaced out .. no need to take in one go !
Aim low fat, moderate protein, high carbs that are easily digested and low fibre

During race 60g carbs and hydration key!

Nutrition practised during training for gut comfort .. no surprises!
Race day breakfast also rehearsed in long training rides to test gut tolerance .. again no surprises!

Races are a great way to fine tune nutrition ! This athlete is aiming for Ironman wales so this is the 1st race of the season and a great starting point to build on.

Post race we will reflect on what worked, gut comfort, energy levels, performance and recovery ! Write it down … make a note, it really does help !
