Fueling Your Body for Better Training

Guest: Darryl Corley - That Nutrition Guy

UK Nutrition Ambassador for HYROX

Are you training hard, showing up consistently — but still feeling flat, under-fuelled, or not recovering the way you expect?

In this episode of the 1% Happier & Healthier podcast, Ann & Sal are joined by Darryl, the UK HYROX Nutrition Ambassador, to unpack one of the most common (and misunderstood) issues in training and wellbeing: fear of carbs.

Darryl shares how discovering nutrition became his passion, starting with curiosity, experimentation, and sharing what he was learning on Instagram — before being approached to become the HYROX Nutrition Ambassador. Today, he travels the UK, speaking at HYROX-affiliated gyms and helping people understand how food can support training, performance, and recovery.

This conversation strips away food fear and brings the focus back to fuel — what your body actually needs to perform well, recover properly, and feel stronger.

• Why so many people are scared of carbohydrates — and where that fear comes from
• How under-fuelling can quietly affect energy, performance, and recovery
• Why carbs are essential fuel for training
• The importance of protein for muscle repair and recovery
• How to fuel for performance without overcomplicating nutrition
• Simple, effective food choices to support training, including:
• oats
• quinoa
• bulgur wheat
• sweet potato
• How to build meals that are nourishing, satisfying, and sustainable

Fuel isn’t the enemy —

fear is.

When you fuel your body properly, everything works better.

• Train regularly but feel low on energy
• Struggle with food fear or carb avoidance
• Want to improve performance without extremes
• Are curious about HYROX or functional training
• Believe food should support your life, not control it
