The week between Christmas and New Year is such a unique time, and I find the break from normal routine allows me a chance to re-evaluate. I’m not one to set new year’s resolutions as such, but really taking the time to look at the year that has been and actively planning the year to…
In the last couple of weeks we have spent time talking about the beginnings of triathlon. When Ironman hits town, it is inevitable that people are inspired and often think “maybe it’s my time”, or “if they can, so could I”. Looking back at when I started triathlon 6 years ago, there seemed an insurmountable…
Kona is over for another year, and our Bindi athletes back are on Aussie soil, full of stories of triumph and woe. The experience of racing in Hawaii is certain to cause a serious case of FOMO, and I get it, your first instinct is to rush out and sign up for the next Ironman available in the hopes of qualifying for next year’s event. Or maybe you’re just so inspired and you think, hey I can do that too!
Training for an endurance event? Your results on race day will rely on what you put in your mouth on a daily basis, just as much as your training workouts. There are so many new ideas, eating fads, diet experiments, and trusted old-fashioned approaches. How do you work out your own individualised sports nutrition strategy – the one that will reap results for you?
As pro athletes the world over compete in last-ditch efforts to accrue qualification points for the Ironman World Championships, we thought we’d talk a little about what it takes an age-grouper to hit the big island.
Now it’s time to look to the Gold Coast and the ITU World Championships, running from 11-14 September. We have our largest contingent of Australian athletes representing this fabulous country ever this year, and every one of us here at Bindi HQ is ready and waiting to cheer for you all!
A stunning location, the Gold Coast course promises excellent spectator value and fast times for both Sprint and Standard Distance events – there is nothing better than running up that blue carpet to the finish line.
It’s happening people; the official countdown to the Ironman 70.3 World Championships has started!
Running over the weekend of September 1 & 2 this iconic, globally-rotating event promises to be a corker. It’s the first time the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship event will run on the African Content, and we can’t wait to see footage of the beautiful course.
Recently I got the chance to catch up with Bindi’s Chief Sales Officer (and all-round great chick) Anne Musk. Although I am based in Busselton, she lives nearly three hours away in Perth and manages all our stockists and athletes for Bindi. With work and family life keeping us both busy, it was nice to have a little downtime over a coffee, and chat about…guess what? TRIATHLON!
You can’t out train a poor diet. That may be hard to hear, but it is the truth – I know from personal experience! Nutrition is key. Look back over your last few races and think about your results. Did you perform well? Did you bonk? Did you go out hard then blow up in the last 30 minutes because you hadn’t taken on enough fuel?
Are you ruining all your good work? You train consistently, turning up to each session and sticking it out until the end. You listen to your coach’s feedback, taking on board what they say and plan to do better next week. But changing just one or two habits could be the key to unlocking the results you want.
