TRAINING NUTRITION
For triathletes, getting a steady dose of protein, which is crucial for growth, recovery and minimising fatigue and muscle damage, is key, especially after tough sessions.
The International Olympic Committee recommends 1.2 to 1.8g of proteinrich foods break down into 22 naturally-occurring amino acids. Nine of these are essential, meaning we have to get them from our diet as the body can’t make them itself. So if you’re on a plant-based diet, making sure you get all these essential amino acids is crucial.
