What A PRO Triathlete Eats in a Day / Joe Skipper - What I Eat in a Day 

Yeah I can literally eat something and then go straight into it. A guy I used to train with used to swear by having fish and chips before a track session as he said if you can run on that you’ll have no problem in an Ironman! 😂

I need at least 3 hours after eating before I train! I guess it's just about how you've trained your body over the years. It's probably that you've trained your body to rely on the immediate glucose in your bloodstream rather than what's in storage. I guess either can work but I think I know which is better for you long term.

@@richardmiddleton7770 don’t think its whatbive trained myself to do. If you had to wait 3 hours after eating before you trained it would be impossible to get a big volume of training in as you would be constantly waiting and doing nothing and also I reckon you would struggle to enough calories in to fuel big days. Ive never had a problem training after eating.

@@joeskipper91 I meant 3 hours for a meal. A banana or a spoonful of nut butter is fine immediately before for me. I actually did 7.5hr ride the other day (125 miles) completely fasted, only water and salt so my body is pretty good at using what it already has stored from the day before. It's all trainable. I'd rather not have that constant fueling as an extra thing to think about.

@@richardmiddleton7770 my body is similar to yours: my body uses stored glycogen and body fat to fuel super long training sessions even with hard sessions thrown in. Works well for me as I can’t train so soon after eating like Joe “buffet” skipper does

Nice

Yeah that video is great mate.

Yep

Definitely

Just do it by feel mate.

We are going to drive to the camp and we will have my dad with us so I can guarantee you the food will be a lot nicer!

@@joeskipper91 true. You said it in yesterday's podcast!

Ha ha mate it costs a lot. My partner can attest to this! 😂

It was from breadsource mate.

Yes

Thats what i had on that particular day but i do vary the evening meals etc. the training day i did for this day will be the next video i upload.

Ha ha no mate its a tiny fridge but due to covid there was a 6 month wait on the fridge freezer we were getting so had to use this one in the mean time.

Ha ha mate we’ve been doing the kitchen up and the fridge we are supposed to be getting has been delayed for 3 months so far so this one is a make do one until the proper one comes. Have got a bigger one downstairs where we are having to transfer things from but covid as made the wait for things like appliances massive.

Lol

God knows.

A classic eh!

Yes

Superb video and generally informative whilst getting a behind the scenes look at how the best in our sport do it. Random is how joe works and why he’s well liked.
