So helpful
My weakness has always been the food I eat to support my training. As a mum of a 3 and a 1 year old I'm constantly getting sick and it interrupts my training but this podcast has given me several tips to help prevent sickness and better look after myself. Really enjoy listening to it, particularly while training - extra motivation!

Love for the podcast...
I look forward to listening to this Podcast!
I so love this podcast! I’m Learning very valuable lessons and techniques from Taryn! One of my favorite things about her is her No nonsense way of putting things. She says it as it is and with kindness. But she does put it as is! I feel like she really does want to make a nutritional difference...

The best triathlon nutrition advice around, for free!!!
The more I learn from Taryn the more I wonder how the hell I’ve finished the races I have, but I also realise how much I can gain in racing from improving my nutrition far more effectively and efficiently than more hours in the pool, wind trainer or treadmill. Forget grazing from the non-peer reviewed and non-evidence based advice floating around just get it all from Taryn and her free podcast or paid Triathlon Nutrition Academy. Unless you’re in my M40-44 category, then scroll on and ask your Facebook mates.
Jaso the Athlete, Australia
No nonsense advice & awesome interviews
I was happy to find Taryn’s podcast after hearing her share on a TriDot podcast. I have since binged all of her episodes and joined her TNA community online. I find her no nonsense approach to nutrition super helpful. I also think her experience as an age-group athlete and dietitian for the Australian elite team gives her unique insight that many dietitians don’t have. Get plugged in with Taryn and the Dietitian Approved Crew - you won’t regret it!

I have been an avid listener of the podcast for quite some time now, and I must say that the content provided is consistently outstanding. Her ability to break down complex nutritional concepts into practical advice that athletes like myself can implement is truly commendable.

Very informative, highly recommended
Very good podcast. I was looking for something triathlon specific like this for a while. The right amount of information packed into a optimal podcast duration. Some more data and stats or case studies would be the cherry on the cake. Looking forward for more episodes. Thanks
Reine M., Austria
IT numpty
G'day Taryn,
Really enjoyed the "long run" podcast. Very timely as I have a 25Ks outing tomorrow so I'll be putting into practice (or trying to) some of the strategies you outlined. Slowly working my way through the other podcasts (Now that I've got the IT sorted lol). Have my prerun fueling sorted (love uncle Toby's) & my post run scrambled eggs & the obligatory long black all planned. Now to execute!
RossTri, Australia
Simply great nutritional advice
Fantastic podcasts with subject matter that is on point and relevant to everyone - not just triathletes. Taryn’s approach is direct and simple - much like her one on one consulting. With so much to learn, I’m sure I will be listening intently to each new episode as they are released! Thanks for cutting through the BS and giving direction to us who previously had no idea about nutrition and how it affects our performance and recovery.
