Key Nutrients for Masters Triathletes: Fuelling for Performance & Longevity

Key Nutrients for Masters Triathletes: Fuelling for Performance & Longevity

If you're a masters triathlete, you might think your PR days are behind you. But here's the thing: with the right nutrition strategy, you can absolutely continue to dominate in triathlon well into your later years!

I'm not just talking about finishing - I'm talking about competing at your absolute best.

The reality of being a masters triathlete is that your body has different needs than your younger training buddies. But this isn't a limitation - it's an opportunity to get smarter about how you fuel. When you understand these changes and adapt your nutrition accordingly, you can maintain (and often improve) your performance.

Let's break down exactly what you need to know to keep crushing those finish lines.
