I've had a few questions about fuelling for the Nike After Dark Tour - a half marathon than starts at 4.30pm (next Saturday). I'm running it and here's my thoughts. I'll be following my usual carb loading protocol. I'll have my largest meal (probably a rice based dish) the night before. On the day of the run I'll have my usual muesli. I'll cut back on the greek yoghurt and instead add in a banana (more carbs). I'll have a couple of pieces of sourdough toast for lunch and I'm hoping a hot cross bun makes an appearance. The focus will not be on MORE food but on relatively more carbs and "whiter" (lower fibre) carbs than I usually choose. Nothing new on race day (or the day before!). I'll be using a mixture of huma gels and Cliff Blocks for during the run. Some will be caffeinated as caffeine is a grade A sports supplement. I'll add some more thoughts on fuelling in the comments. Please share with your friends running this event!

As I enter the taper period for my fourth marathon I thought I would write down how to carb-load successfully.  I remember all too clearly the feeling of hitting the "wall" from my first half marathon where I just wanted to lie down and have a nap at the 17k mark.  Fast f

Fascinating. Bicarbonate of soda is a grade a supplement meaning it’s safe and effective howecervup to now it’s been only proven over 1 to 10 min efforts and the gi upset were bad. Now Maureen have put it in a Microtel so it doesn’t have negative side effects getting good results over hour long time trials. Have you tried it?

A Swedish company’s baking soda formula was the hottest supplement at the Olympics. And now a new study finds that it really works.

I just received this beautiful testimonial from Davida - what a pleasure she was to work with!

"Struggling to loose post menapausal weight, and not through lack of trying with different diets, fast 800, weight watchers etc and young twenty something personal trainers trying to give me nutritional advice; I needed someone who had knowledge about post Menapausal needs in regards to nutrition and exercise- that's when I found Rachel Eagleton. Rachel's six week nutritional program has been so beneficial, I now know what my body needs, and have learnt so much. Rachel was honest and encouraging, I truly valued her weekly feedback she was always willing to answer my questions and offer support and understanding. Thank you again for assisting me to take better care and teaching me good habits."

This was delicious with a rich veggie based sauce! I used skin off thighs, and reduced the extra virgin olive oil and butter amounts. Stir through a tin of chickpeas to stretch it to two meals and increase your plant proteins

This curry is deliciously bright and light and the swift cooking time for the flavour payoff is a real winner.
