How Liz Blatchford managed 120g CHO/hour on the bike in Ironman

EP 94 - How Liz Blatchford Managed 120g of Carbohydrate Per Hour on the Bike in Ironman Liz Blatchford - one of THE MOST successful triathletes of all time.  She had an 18 year professional racing career from 2000 in both the ITU circuit and full distance events. And to top it all off, was inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame in 2022. She is now retired from competing, living her best life with her two little people, but is still heavily involved in the sport through coaching. I wanted to get Liz on the podcast to chat about her Ironman fuelling strategies. She was the first athlete I ever heard of, many years ago before it was a ‘thing’ - that was fuelling at 120g of carbohydrate per hour on the bike. CRAZY for a 60kg athlete!Tune in to hear how she landed on that fuelling strategy, what products she used and her overall philosophy on nutrition for triathlon as a female athlete.   LINKS Connect with Liz on Instagram @liz_blatchford Join the waitlist for our next Triathlon Nutrition Academy opening in July! www.dietitianapproved.com/academy Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist Website: www.dietitianapproved.com Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved  @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: www.facebook.com/DietitianApproved   The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved.
