  • Five Obsessions Triathletes Think They Need vs What Actually Moves the Needle
    Sep 25 2025

    Still cramping or bonking despite all your shiny gear?

    In this episode, I reveal five of the biggest distractions that age-group triathletes obsess over. From carbon shoes and sperm helmets to the latest supplements, and explain why they aren't the biggest drivers of better performance.

    You’ll learn what actually does move the needle, so you can stop wasting money on things that aren't serving you and start focusing on the things that do.

    If you're ready to train harder and race smarter, this episode is a must-listen.

My weakness has always been the food I eat to support my training. As a mum of a 3 and a 1 year old I'm constantly getting sick and it interrupts my training but this podcast has given me several tips to help prevent sickness and better look after myself. Really enjoy listening to it, particularly while training - extra motivation!
