Hi guys, Thanks for watching the video. I filmed the video and I can confirm she does that much in a day. At the time of filming, we had a lot of outside factors going on and she was quite wiped between the 2 races. Thanks so much to GTN for editing and producing the video. I see some great comments and we appreciated the feedback. Vegemite and avo on toast is amazing, well worth a try, lets push the team and GTN to give is a go! haha . We'll hopefully find the time to produce more videos for Sarah on her RU-vid in the future and instagram on the lead up to Kona.

I find it really interesting watching what actual athletes eat vs what RU-vidrs say you you should eat. My takeaway is “eat whatever you want to get the job done, nutrition isn’t just for the next 5 minutes but the next 5 days, don’t deny yourself anything, be sensible”.

@galaxy_mosaic3587 Год назад

thank you for sharing this. I thought it was really interesting to consider that not every meal is low fat. I find it interesting to understand how to use nutrition/calories to maximize performance as an athlete. also I appreciated seeing the details of Crowley's swimming workout. I'm not a triathlete but thought I could use parts of her workout for enhancing my swimming training

@matejburian3191 Год назад

@@Kate-vz1to RED-S is basically eating too little calories relative to expenditure, Your body then goes to a something like "battery save mode" you lose performance, you are always tired, high cortisole levels, signs of overtraining and it took awhile to recover from that, We are talking months even a year

@SammyJD13 Год назад

Thanks for this video! I’m always curious to know what pro athletes eat. Most of the athletes I’ve heard from actually like to indulge in high carb-fat foods for quick energy so I’m not surprised to see that Sarah does that same. I think the best nutrient packed meal is a quinoa salad. It’s an energy source with a complete source of essential amino acids.

@Excelsiorgaming97 Год назад

No way is that all they eat. 7hours of training would require at least 4000 calories

@trepidati0n533 Год назад

Yes and no....this is often misunderstood. When you do a workout...those calories are burnt. However, your body compensates and burns less energy when not working out. The data backs this. Current science says you get a net benefit of only 25-50% of the calories burned in a workout. So if your normal daily rate is 2k calories and you do a 2000 calorie bike....your net day may only be between 2500-3000 calories...not 4000. The body is a pretty neat machine that way.

@matejburian3191 Год назад

@@trepidati0n533 Can you share those data with us?

@limari95 5 месяцев назад

@@trepidati0n533Id also be interested in the studies that prove this. Because it seems almost contradictory to most triathletes eating between 4k and 5k cals a day without gaining weight, and many athletes that eat below 3k calories getting RED-Syndrome

4:46 my pb when I used to swim competetively for 100m is 1:08 and haven't been anywhere close to that since I stopped training with a club so don't think I'd get very far

@alljokesaside4918 Год назад

So odd to me that gcn kept commenting on the quantity of bad food being a bad thing, calories are the most important thing by far, especially with this much training

@SD-oo8sf 8 месяцев назад

some might say nutrients, minerals count too, to stay healthy long-term, which in turn helps making training more sustainable.

@alwayslearning7672 Год назад

Eye opening!

@davidmostertvlogs1319 Год назад

GTN should go to the Norwegians and see what a pro really eats like… there’s no way in hell anyone can like like only 2k calories on a 3 hour training day

@FrancescaCi Год назад

Agree. Go and check Kristian Blummenfelt or Gustav Iden days. They train a lot and can burn up to 8000kcal per day, so eating a lot! This amount of food is not enough, definitely. Even if she is doing less than these guys. Fuel is key

@idlesociety5458 Год назад

It’s all down to the individual unfortunately. Whilst yes, they may need 8K cals per day, she may feel that’s too much food for her to consume whilst training and might make her feel sick/sluggish. Which many people do. It’s just about the quality of food you’re getting in. There really is bonified target cals for any sport everything is based on averages and estimations.

@mottohorn 4 месяца назад

I missed the part where she said 2k calories. This amount of food in this video is likely more than 2000 calories by itself. And…she probably also trains with gels and run/ride fuel as well for her races which she did not mention.

@carlalynch1412 Год назад

How do you know if you have fueled enough though? TY!

@MrBraindead101 Год назад

@cynthiareif6125 Год назад

I find it hard to believe that is really all she ate in a day. The 2,5 hour bike was done with only one banana as fuel? No carb drink?

@robbrown9337 Год назад

Good observation. I get about 30 minutes on a half of banana. Even the 100 cal GU packets only buy me about 30 minutes before I start tanking.

@ChrisKeelingTri Год назад

I thought the same thing. 1 banana for a 2.5hr relatively high intensity bike... and i dont think rice cakes would have done much to.fuel that session?

@lisapet160 Год назад

Did she mention, what is in her drink that was consumed at the time when banana was eaten?. Could be that banana is a solid substance filler on top of diluted nutrients. Got bored at 2:41 , yawns are contagious. Hope she's awake later in the video :)

@mkaliczak Год назад

I’m nowhere near this level of an athlete but I do IF and on my long ride I can easily do 180-200 watts for 2 hours on an empty stomach.

@macserda2044 Год назад

i was also surpised that after her swim she took a nap without refueling a bit. maybe that's just me, but after a swim workout, i typically hydrate and fuel.

@dougowens4508 11 месяцев назад

It’s amazing that she’s such a great athlete and eats almost everything out of a package… Hardly anything is a whole food

@J-sy5cu 8 месяцев назад

I wish I could eat like that, my digestive system is so finicky that I get terrible cramps if I eat more than one processed item per week. I feel great in general but having to cook and prepare everything takes up a lot of time even when I meal prep in bulk. Often I just skip meals altogether because I don’t feel like cooking or prepping or chewing 😂.

@Chapichap0 Год назад

and are you guys always hungry ? I need to eat so much in order not to be hungry, it's amazing and also annoying because it takes time. Is it important to not be hungry, to always fuel my body ? Thanks for the advice...

@michaelstratton5223 Год назад

I don't understand why so many athletes are caffeine junkies. As an aspiring cyclist I've actually cut caffeine out completely because it screws with my sleep cycle so badly. I find a full night's sleep to be more important than a half hour energy burst. But fyi I don't have anything against decaf coffee or caffeine free soda.

@PFG666 Год назад

Sensitivity to caffeine greatly varies from person to person. Some can have caffeine in the evening with no effects on their sleep. Others have to limit caffeine consumption to mornings.
