As a professional triathlete who has recently transitioned from short-course to long-course racing, fuelling has become more important than ever for Charlotte. The demands of long training days and racing for hours at a time mean nutrition is not just supportive it is critical to performance. She needs a strategy that is reliable, easy to tolerate, and consistent, allowing her to focus on executing the race rather than worrying about her stomach or energy levels.
Charlotte values the simplicity and versatility of the FIXX range. Whether it is a long ride, a race simulation, or race day itself, she can keep her fuelling consistent without overcomplicating things. Her approach is generally to keep nutrition mostly liquid, especially early in races, helping her stay on top of energy intake while keeping digestion smooth. The different flavour options make it easier for her to continue fuelling late in sessions when appetite starts to drop.
For Ironman racing and long training days, Charlotte typically relies on Fuel X Endurance Fuel (with Tropical as her favourite) and Gel X Pro, keeping intake steady hour after hour. Having something easy to absorb and predictable allows her to maintain energy levels without significant spikes or crashes particularly important late in the marathon when fatigue sets in.
Another advantage is the practicality of the products. The gel sachets are easy to carry and give Charlotte confidence heading into long sessions or races, knowing she has what she needs on hand. It removes the guesswork from fuelling.
For Charlotte, FIXX Nutrition has become a key part of maintaining consistency in training and performing when it matters most.
