Juggling Shift Work and Triathlon with Age-Group athlete Jules Whitton

As a paramedic for the NSW Ambulance service, Julie Whitton juggles a lot! Crazy 12 hour shifts, often overnight, family and training for not one, but three sports.    As a quiet achiever and self professed introvert, she silently chips away at her goals. 70.3 is her distance of choice and she is weeks away from racing Hervey Bay 100.   As a shift worker with a hugely variable routine, training and nutrition looks very different to the average 9-5 triathlete.   So how does she fit training in around a rolling 9 day roster and 12 hour overnight shifts? What strategies has she learnt work for her to toe the start line in the best possible shape she can? And from a nutrition perspective, how has she overcome the challenges you face when mealtimes are not in your control.   Tune in to find out!   LINKS   Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.
