Body Weight, Performance, and Triathlon

Published: Aug. 29, 2022, 9 a.m.

Today's episode tackles a "weighty" topic: a triathlete's relationship with their body weight. How do you know what weight is optimal for you? Is leaner better? Is there an ideal \u201crace weight\u201d you should strive for? Should you measure body fat percentage and know your BMI in addition to information from a standard scale? Dr. Krista Austin and Advanced Sports Dietician Taryn Richardson answer these questions and more! Krista and Taryn help you identify areas of improvement by discussing weight from a health and performance perspective.\n\nA big thanks to UCAN for being a long time partner of the podcast!\n\nAt TriDot we are huge believers in using UCAN to fuel our training and racing.
