It's cold, it's wet, it's December! Training during the winter months can be tough but refuelling post-swim, bike or run needn't be. Our resident nutritionist, Jon Hodgkinson, founder of Real Food Func, has devised this hearty Pork Meatball & Chickpea Tagine recipe.

It's the perfect combination of protein and carbohydrate for a slow release of energy without spiking blood sugar levels that lead to hunger pangs!

Just completed a training session? Now's the time to refuel and here's why.

Following on from his video earlier this month discussing the importance of fuelling during training, coach James is back! In this video, James offers an informative and insightful guide to post-training refuelling and nutrition and why it's key to helping your body recover and adapt to the demands of triathlon.

Fuelling during training: why is it so important?

We're often asked by our athletes: which training sessions do I need to fuel? Closely followed by "and why is that?" #TeamTCUK coach and co-founder, James Pryke, has studied sports nutrition over many years and has a special interest in the subject. As such, he's put together a short video outlining just why fuelling during your training sessions is vital for performance.

Corned Beef Hash was something of a staple in our resident nutritionist and founder of Real Food Func, Jon Hodgkinson's, kitchen growing up. As much as he still loves the processed corned beef dish, he knew after making this from the remnants of his fridge the other week it would become the top trump of hash dishes from now on!

January is, more often than not, the time of year when triathletes step on the scales and ponder how much weight they’ve put on over the winter months and what they need to do to get back to their ‘race weight’.

Traditional bathroom scales are great for showing us how much we weigh but is it worth investing in body composition scales to get a more in depth look at our body? James Pryke, coach and co-founder of Triathlon Coaching UK offers his thoughts.

It’s Peanut Butter Day and to celebrate, with the help of our friends at Meridian Foods, our resident nutritionist Jon Hodgkinson has created this proper tasty Aubergine & Peanut Butter (yep, you read that right!) Curry.

Perfect for refuelling after a tough training session, this curry takes just 15 minutes to prepare and 40 minutes to cook.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? What are you planning on eating for your lunch? Chances are you’re already several weeks into your 2018 race plan and you’re ticking off some quality base training sessions.

If your answer to the breakfast question was half a cup of coffee and a digestive biscuit and your lunch plans are no better, you can’t expect your body to perform at its best so perhaps it’s time to consider embarking on our six-week TCUK nutrition course.

We're absolutely delighted to be working with Meridian Foods this year. And if you love peanut butter, you'll love this recipe that #TeamTCUK nutritionist, Jon Hodgkinson, has created - over to Jon in the kitchen!

Searching for new healthy alternatives to sugar laden snacks that satisfy your sweet tooth?

It’s all too easy to get lost in the wealth of ‘new’ healthy ingredients that cost a small fortune.

With the festive period creeping up on us and the steady stream of Christmas parties and other social events on the horizon, our resident nutritionist, Jon Hodgkinson, takes a look at how your training can be impacted by alcohol and more importantly what you can do to keep your weekends full of productive training…

“It’s not uncommon for those in the triathlon world to get stung by a winter illness now and again, especially when training load is high and life is generally lived at a faster pace than most.

Earlier this year, #TeamTCUK athlete Tony Hunt signed up for our six-week nutrition course run by resident nutritionist and founder of RealFoodFunc, Jon Hodgkinson.

At the time Tony was working overseas and living on his own and finding the time to cook proper food was a real challenge for him. Here’s what he had to say about the course…
