Fuel for Peak Performance
A comprehensive online nutrition course designed to help you eat well and perform!
Do you want to know how to maximise nutrient intake to fuel your sport? Do you train hard but unsure of how to navigate nutrition on race day? Is nutrition the missing component in achieving optimal performance? Are you confused by all the nutrition information/diets/supplements out there and how to apply that to YOU - the athlete?
If that sounds like you, then you've come to the right place!
My goal is to help you understand, create, discover and take charge of your own nutrition path. I want to educate and empower you with all the necessary tools to bring you a step closer to your goals.
When it comes to nutrition, there are SO many mix messages out there. Athletes are not your typical person on the street. The biggest mistake I see athletes make is jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to trendy diets/supplements that can potentially come at the cost of performance and health.
I am here to FILL that gap. This is where you can find sound, scientific and practical evidence-based nutrition advice for athletes, specifically endurance athletes. This guide can be applied across different disciplines - 10km, 15km, half marathon (21.1km), full marathon (42.2km), triathlons (sprint, olympic distance, half- and full ironman), Hyrox and OCRs.
Training and nutrition definitely go hand in hand to elicit the necessary metabolic and functional adaptations to achieve peak performance. Endurance training can be demanding. A proper nutrition plan can ensure that sufficient energy is delivered and the right recovery strategies are in place to optimise training adaptations and minimise fatigue.
Your goal as an athlete is to ensure that you are employing nutrition methods that will meet all your nutritional needs to support health and performance.
