#21 SPORTS NUTRITION & HYDRATION
FOR PLAYING WILDER
WITH HANNY ALLSTON
Navigating the seemingly endless sources of information on sports nutrition & hydration can be overwhelming, but I believe there are only a few basic principles everybody must know.
In this podcast I sit down with my colleague and friend Jess, to troubleshoot the major nutrition/hydration challenges I see amongst athletes and how to ensure you do not fall into the same traps! I put a focused approach on race nutrition and what nutritional disruptions cause cramping, vomiting and diarrhoea on race day. So this podcast would be really beneficial for anyone following my Ultra Trail Australia Training Programs.
Like all of my podcasts focused on enhancing athletic performance, I believe the knowledge I share is beneficial and applicable to anyone of any age who is looking to play wilder. Irrespective of what ‘lifestyle,’ nutrition, or school of thought you may follow.
Take Home Points
I hope you enjoy listening to this one!
