Feed to Succeed: Expert Nutrition Advice

In this edition of the SwimOut podcast we are finding out all about Nutrition and swimming, especially in longer swims. We explore what to use for fuel during training periods and also on event day, and look at what can go wrong and why!

In a round table format we have guest Emily Javon @emilyjevonsnutrtion who has a PHD in Metabolism and Nutrition, and is a registered Nutritionist, specialising in endurance sports including swimming. Emily outlines the principles and the basics for us. We also have Bryony Rowe @bryony.eve.swims who is training for the English Channel and is an enthusiast about Nutrition. Finally, we have my wife, Oonagh, who is in charge of my feeds on the big event day.
