Fitness Racing Podcast

This week on the show we are joined once again by Darryl Corley for a dedicated deep dive into race-day nutrition.
Following on from our previous conversations covering general nutrition and the value of HRV training, this episode focuses entirely on the fine details of fueling your race for maximum performance.
We walk through the entire timeline, from the question of carb loading and night-before meals to managing your nutrition based on your start time.
We also break down the science behind race gels, hydration, lactic acid buffer, and the actual causes of race-day cramping. Finally, we look at  strategies for athletes tackling multiple races over a single weekend.

This week on the show we speak to Calypso Sheridan. Calypso caught a lot of people's eyes at the HYROX World Championship but her story began before that.
 
We consider her early career as a NCAA swimmer and the various sports she competed in since those days. This includes the potential for her to represent Australia in the Olympics.
 
We also chart her career in HYROX including how her current performances are a world away from how she viewed the sport after the first race.
 
Finally we deep dive into HYROX World Championships where she took on all three big races.

All this and much more
