What It Takes to Fuel Your First Ironman

Thinking about stepping up to Ironman but not sure you can handle the distance?

In this episode, I’m joined again by long-time TNA athlete Steve Duquette, who just ticked off his first full Ironman—and did it feeling strong all day. We unpack the key nutrition shifts that helped him overcome cramping, avoid the dreaded GI issues, and finish smiling (even with a dodgy knee and back!).

You’ll learn how Steve built confidence through consistent fuelling, what he changed as his training ramped up, and the one thing he says made the biggest difference to his Ironman success.
