Here in the Northern Hemisphere Winter is on its way. I actually had to scrape the ice off my car yesterday. For the Triathlete, winter means more time on the turbo and running on the Treadmill.

Triathletes are all about goals. You pick an “A” race and then you do what it takes to hit that goal, BUT…………. Let’s say you’ve entered a 70.3 in June next year and you’ve decided you want to break 6 hours.

Now, lets cut to the chase! You downloaded my Free E-Book because you accept you need a change in your nutrition. The chances are you need to lose some weight.

I’ve not raced now for a few years – 2 young kids, a new house which needed renovating and growing business, has meant I found it hard to find the time. And being the sort of person who only wants to do something if I can do it well, meant I’d rather not bother.

When we set out on a new challenge we often start with high motivation levels. We can’t wait to get started and then hit it with all we have. A couple of weeks later this enthusiasm can start to dwindle. This can be true of training, work, hobbies and new diets.

There is absolutely no doubt that genetics play a part in both performance and body composition. We all know that person who eats what they like but stays lean, right?
