Being Race Ready – Nutrition for Ironman Training

Training for an Ironman is no small feat. Long training hours, early mornings, and back-to-back sessions can leave you drained if your nutrition isn’t dialed in. Ever hit a wall mid-session or struggled to recover before your next big effort? That’s where smart nutrition comes in.

Ironman isn’t just about endurance—it’s about fuelling right to perform, recover, and sustain your body through months of training and race day itself. Knowing what to eat before, during, and after each session can mean the difference between pushing through strong or running on empty.

We’ve pulled together key nutrition strategies to help you navigate tough training blocks and race-day demands. Prioritising your nutrition now will set you up to perform at your best when it matters most.

Key areas we’ll cover include training your gut to handle race-day fuelling, preventing illness during taper, and managing the overwhelming advice that often comes with Ironman preparation.
