Fueling and hydration for triathlon * Andy Blow

On this week's show, we catch up with Precision Hydration supremo, Andy Blow as we chat about hydration and nutrition.

Andy is a Sports Scientist and the founder of Precision Hydration. He was formerly an elite-level triathlete who can count a couple of top-10 IRONMAN finishes and an Xterra Age-Group World title to his name. It was during his racing career that he discovered how individualised fluid and electrolyte replacement can make such a big difference to performance, and this led to him setting up precisionhydration.com - a company that specialises in helping athletes nail their fueling and hydration strategies for training and competing. 

Naturally, Andy and the team at Precision Hydration have found their conversations with athletes have strayed into the world of nutrition and they're now aiming to do for fueling what they've done for hydration with the Precision Fuel range. 

• The 3 levers for fuelling race performance
• Knowing your numbers
