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.

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.
