LYOF Podcast: Diet changes for Ironman Performance with Darren, a LYOF Gold Client.

Darren Toyne has a high level management job involving lots of travel, tiring long days, but he also has a love for Ironman. How does he balance all the pieces of life to enjoy it all? We catch up and find out. Interview with Darren - A Low carb athlete for many years, but still carrying excess weight, and experiencing bloating, we chat about what changes we made that helped him lose the weight, feel the best in decades, and love the food he is eating as well as the experiences of cooking the food. Darren raced Ironman Busselton in 2019 after a lot of travel for work. We cover how he accepted what he could and could not do in training, resulting in a manageable balance between work and triathlon life and an enjoyable race in Busselton despite far from ideal preparation. His trigger phrase for being relaxed and in the moment during tough times in the race is priceless - forgive, forget, focus. Darren begins by telling us about himself, his job, and triathlon past experiences. the good, and the funny. After the interview ends, I analyse what we talked about, and give it to you in practical recommendations for you to try, and ideas that may help you, so don’t miss that at the end. A great low carb ironman perspective, we know everyone will get something from this. Thanks again to Darren for taking the time, and being a A grade client ;)
