WORKOUT NUTRITION

‍

The nutrition you need for any of the workouts we prescribe in the MOTTIV training app are given to you right in your workout details for that specific workout.

The number of calories and grams of macronutrients (eg: 30g of carbs) are personalized to you, based on the personal data you've entered.

RACE DAY NUTRITION

Every athlete's race day nutrition strategy will be different, and your exact strategy will be different for every race you do.

To determine the correct amount of calories you need for your next event, visit the MOTTIV blog and use our Nutrition Calculator.

But, the number of calories you need is only one part of getting your nutrition right on race day.  You also need to know:

  • how to time your calories throughout the race
  • what type of calories to take on the bike vs the run in a triathlon
  • what type of calories NEVER to take
  • easy hacks to avoid cramping and digestive upset
  • how to avoid a DNF due to stomach issues
    ‍

All of those questions (and more) are answered in the book Triathlon Nutrition Foundations. To purchase a digital download instantly, visit mymottiv.com/triathlonnutritionfoundations‍

Triathlon Nutrition Foundations (and the three other Foundations books: Triathlon Swimming Foundations, Triathlon Bike Foundations, and Triathlon Running Foundations) are also available in soft-cover on Amazon.
