Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
Nutrition is a popular subject for triathletes to discuss, and as a group they seem to be early adopters when it comes to trying a different approach. My guest on this week’s show is Dr. Rhys Jones, Consultant Psychiatrist specialising in eating disorders. Rhys is also a para triathlete, and this gives him a unique insight into the behaviours and training patterns of his fellow athletes.
While there have been a number of past and current high profile endurance athletes that have spoken openly about eating disorders during their careers, they make up only a small portion of the total number taking part in endurance sports. This might mean there is no problem, or it could be that athletes just don’t wish to discuss it openly. Either way, it is definitely a subject that we should be aware of. Coaches particularly would be advised to up their knowledge on this topic with a view to being able to identify and respond to existing and potential problems.
Today we discuss:
In the conversation Rhys mentioned several resources that you might find useful. Type the titles into a search engine and you will get lots of hits.
