Rudy Von Berg is a professional triathlete rising rapidly to prominence. Currently ranked 10th in the world, he has won several 70.3 triathlon races, but now wants to follow his father’s footsteps into the long course of Ironman racing. Coming to the sport at an early age was triggered by his trip to Hawaii in 1998 where his father, one of the pioneers of triathlon in Belgium, went on to win his 40-44 age group in the Kona Ironman. In this interview, Claire and I wanted to learn from Rudy about the benefits of coming to the sport at such a young age, moving up to the long course, using gravel racing to improve his performance and his approach to fuelling his races.Rudy von Berg on Instagram: @rudyvonberg enertor.comUse code TRIBEATHLON15 for 15% off4thdiscipline.comInstagram: @the4thdiscipline This episode was sponsored by Precision HydrationTake the free Online Sweat Test to get some personalised hydration advice to test in training.Use the Quick Carb Calculator to understand how much carbohydrate you need per hour to perform at your best.Listen to our podcast episode on hydration strategy and the common mistakes athletes make on race day.Book a free 1-2-1 Hydration and Fuelling Strategy video consultation to discuss your strategy for your next event.Enter the code TRIBEATHLON15 at the precisionhydration.com checkout to get 15% off your first order of electrolytes and fuel.This episode was sponsored by The Trusted Team and 4th Discipline
