WHAT WE DO

Where Nutrition
Meets Performance

The key to optimising performance through nutrition is to make sure training load and food intake are aligned. We take the guesswork out of the equation so you can reach your next finish line faster.

personalised Nutrition Planning

There is a big difference between eating well and eating optimally. Your meals need to reflect your training load, so a self-righteous green juice on rest day is good but try to fuel a high intensity workout with this and you will go pop!
The world of nutrition is confusing with so much conflicting advice so my job is to simplify things for you, weed out all the trendy nonsense and give you good tasty food that you want to eat.

In most instances sport nutrition experts are creating more problems than solutions for athletes and certainly don’t understand how to cook quickly and efficiently for performance.

  • In depth consultation to understand your training, goals and lifestyle
  • Customised meal plans for optimal performance and recovery
  • Race day and event specific fuelling strategies
  • Practical recipes and real world eating tips

‘Alan’s knowledge in the kitchen and on the bike means he is uniquely placed to understand the needs of a cyclist. In simple terms he takes the nonsense out of athlete food and nutrition’
