Why Training Hard Isn’t Enough – Lessons from Triathlete Brent Saltmarsh

What happens when you train like a pro but still bonk on race day?

In this episode, I’m joined by Triathlon Nutrition Academy athlete Brent Saltmarsh — a retired Army veteran turned endurance addict — who shares his eye-opening journey from cramping and gut blowouts to PBs and cramp-free racing.

We unpack the rookie nutrition mistakes that nearly ruined his Ironman and the exact changes he’s made to transform his performance in just a few months inside TNA.

You’ll hear about:

How Brent went from survival mode to racing with confidence
His biggest pre-TNA nutrition blunders (including a disastrous caffeine gel moment)
Why cramping and gut issues were signs of a deeper fuelling problem
The exact changes he’s made to hit PBs in his 40s
His long-term triathlon goals (hint: 90-year-old Ironman anyone?)
