Fuelled with Dr Gemma Sampson Dr Gemma Sampson

If you get dropped on a ride - does that demotivate you or does it motivate you?

Maybe I'm weird, but for some strange reason when it comes to group rides, being dropped REALLY motivates me to work harder and to ride my bike more regularly. It all started with the Sefton park chain gang 9 years ago.

It's time for another edition of Ask a Sports Dietitian where each month I select a question submitted to answer - just like I do each week on my private podcast for Fuelled Team members.

Susan asks:

Hi Gemma, I am a 57yr old female Cycling endurance athlete. I like to compete for overall and AG in 80-100mi sportive/fondo/ races. I am using a trainer and on the average put in 10-15hrs/week. I am interested to hear your macro recommendations when it comes to older but still competitive athletes. For example, some say that with aging athletes, %fat should be a bit higher than with younger athletes. What about Protein (super important for aging athletes) but how much is needed vs carbohydrates? I have a science background and listen to most all the new recommendations but I have found it all falls apart when you look at the needs for an aging yet still competitive female athlete!!

Have I always had a good relationship with food? This week on the podcast I am doing something a little different. One of my Fuelled team members asked a question about my relationship with food, how that has changed over the years as a dietitian and things I recommend you consider to improve yours.

When it comes to sports nutrition for cycling and triathlon, I like to view it in three distinct, but related components.

We have Everyday nutrition, Training nutrition and then our event or racing nutrition.

They have overlapping but distinct needs and challenges to address, which I teach my 1:1 clients privately in our 1:1 sessions as well as online using my Fuelled Framework.

I have a new online workshop where I will be taking you through my Fuelled Framework to teach you how to optimise the way you fuel on and off the bike for better body composition, health and performance.
Get your tickets to join live on the 25th April or watch the replay at www.gemmasampson.com/framework

Nutrition can either make or break a ride, and it's when you put it to the test and experience this properly for yourself that you really understand that it's not just a fluke

Ange Hookham is a cyclist personal trainer who joined my Fuelled team and has been learning my Fuelled Framework over the past few months. After sharing some of her wins on Instagram I invited her on to the podcast to share her experience of learning how to fuel her training, what challenges she faced and how much of a difference fuelling has made to her cycling.

What does it take to fuel a Kona slot when you are an Ironman triathlete? Today I have invited Dan Barry, a triathlete and previous client onto the podcast to share his experience learning how to optimise his everyday, training and race nutrition through 1:1 sports nutrition coaching. He recently won his Age Group, breaking 9 hours at Ironman New Zealand achieving his goal to race at Ironman World Championships in Kona later this year. Listen to hear what changed in his nutrition, how he fuelled his Ironman race, what surprised him about levellling up his nutrition and more.
