Andi Boecherer - Challenge Roth Training Series - Nutrition, low carbs & Mindset

Today we have German Pro Triathlete Andi Boecherer on the show to help us on Episode number 2 of the Road to Roth Training series! So for the first time listeners, a bit of a backstory here with the Road to Roth Series – at the beginning of August I announced that I’ll be doing my first full distance triathlon at Challenge Roth in 2020, and since then, I found that a lot of listeners were actually on a similar path; whether it was with Roth or another race; but they too were on their crazy journey to their first full distance triathlon and looking forward to hearing content specific to the full distance! Of course, never having actually done the distance before, I figured everyone could benefit the most in a series where I interview top professional triathletes and coaches that will be able to provide a ton of training tips specific to the full distance as well as give us the motivation and insight we need to help us maximize our performances come race day! So, to introduce Andi; for the few who don’t know him yet, he is an absolutely incredible long-distance triathlete, with a top 5 finish in KONA, multiple podium finishes at the IRONMAN European Championships and has won many IM 70.3 races over the years. Andi also recently competed in Challenge Roth breaking the fastest Bike split; but unfortunately, his race fell apart in the run which he now attributes to nutrition. In this episode Andi dives into what exactly happened that day when it came to his nutrition failure and how he’s overcome it and how we as age groupers can learn from it! We also dive into his background in racing, what’s ahead as all eyes are on KONA, and leaves us with plenty of motivation and training advice to help us get ready for that big race! I hope you guys enjoy this podcast and be sure to take advantage of your long bike sessions by lining up a few episodes to play for constant workout motivation!
