In this episode, Bex and Jess sit down with performance nutritionist George Robinson — back for his second appearance on the show (the only guest to earn that honour, so he must be doing something right!).

George has worked across athletics, cycling, and triathlon, and was the mastermind behind the British Triathlon nutrition plans heading into the Paris Olympics. Together, we dive into the nuts and bolts of fuelling performance — from how to eat during training to what supplements are actually worth your money, and exactly how many carbs you need to race at your best.

It’s a practical, no-nonsense chat packed with insights you can apply straight away, whether you’re chasing a PB or just trying to train smarter.
