Off-season Nutrition

With athletics running year-round, it can be easy to skip over the quieter moments between competitions. But according to Athletics NSW dietitian Caitlin Byron, what athletes do during these off-peak periods can have a major impact on how well they recover, and how ready they are to perform when the next challenge arrives.

“Off-season nutrition is something a lot of athletes overlook,” Caitlin says. “But what you do now can play a big role in how well you recover from the season just gone, and how prepared you are to hit the ground running next time.”

To help athletes stay on track, Caitlin has created a practical Off-Season Nutrition Guide that outlines how to fuel well when training loads are lighter, and why these phases matter just as much as peak competition blocks.

Whether your goals are to:

• Recover and repair your body,

• Build muscle to become faster and more explosive, or

• Set up better nutrition habits heading into the next season...

This guide will walk you through common off-season nutrition mistakes, key goals to focus on, and how to fuel your body well during this time

Athletes seeking individualised guidance can also access 25% off their initial nutrition consultation — a great opportunity to build a personalised plan that aligns with training and competition goals year-round.
