Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast. My guest today is Darryl Corley. Darryl is a UK-based nutrition coach who specialises in optimising the performance of HYROX athletes, including elite competitors like Becca Mason, Lucy Proctor, and Jake Williamson.We had an interesting chat, talking all about Darryl’s background and how he switched from a high-fat to a high-carb diet, and the benefits that came along for the ride on multiple levels. We discussed some race-fuelling strategies, looked at previous things I’ve done in my own race-fuelling, and got into the psychological side of nutrition and emotional regulation around that.We also explored the top strategies you can implement in your HYROX World’s prep-nutrition, sleep, middle-of-the-night feeding-all sorts of good stuff to help you optimise your performance. We even walked through a full example of how to fuel your HYROX for optimal results.Hope you enjoy my conversation with Darryl Corley.I'm so excited to tell you about my first ever sponsor Bear Bar, who make the highest quality shower soaps.
