Nutrition

Most athletes understand the importance of good nutrition but very few of follow an optimal diet. Often this is due to being ill informed or confused by the vast amount of conflicting information we read in the press.

 

For all athletes getting the dietary intake right can mean performance gains, improved recovery and better racing, especially in endurance events like Ironman triathlon.

 

We offer nutritional analysis, support and advice from a qualified nutritionist. The nutrition support services we offer range from answers to quick questions, to advice on training and competition needs for specific events, to complete dietary analysis with a full report.

 

We can provide advice for example on weight loss/gain, hydration strategies, how to optimize glycogen stores and safe use of supplements. Feel free to contact us if you would like more information on this service.

‘As a recreational athlete competing in multi sport events, Anna Wittekind reviewed my general diet and gave practical advice about changes I could make without impeding my training. In just five months I lost 4kg in weight, and I am now fitter and leaner than I have ever been. As a result I recently ran a PB in the Edinburgh marathon and had my most successful duathlon season to date.'
