Runners — don’t risk low iron slowing you down ⚠️
Every run breaks down red blood cells (foot-strike haemolysis), so protecting your iron really matters.
Here’s the big one ⬇️
☕ Avoid tea + coffee with meals — their polyphenols bind to iron, blocking absorption.
🍊 Add vitamin C to boost how much iron you actually take in.
Small changes = stronger iron, stronger miles. 🏃♀️💥

Sniffles starting? 👀
Zinc is one of the FEW things proven to shorten a cold — if you take it fast.

3 Red Flags They’re Not a Nutrition Expert
Red Flag 1:
“They want to sell you a supplement before they ask what you actually eat.”
If the solution is always a powder → run.
Red Flag 2:
They speak in absolutes:
“Cut carbs.” “No dairy.” “Sugar is poison.”
Nutrition isn’t a cult!
Red Flag 3:
They base everything on personal experience instead of evidence.
“I did it, so you should too” # science. 3:
Stay aware and be informed !

And the easiest way to tick ALL 3?
👉 A 300ml Recovery Milkshake: milk + fruit + a scoop of skimmed milk powder.

Victoria Prendiville - Sport and Exercise Performance Dietitian
My name’s Victoria Prendiville. I’m a Clinical Dietitian with over 17 years experience working in the NHS and an accredited Sport and Exercise Performance Dietitian.
I specialise in providing advice and guidance to recreational up to elite level athlete’s on nutrition and hydration to meet individual goals and optimise health, wellbeing and performance.
I am passionate about sport and nutrition and provide advice to all age groups from youngsters involved in sport to mature and older adults. Whether you are involved in exercise and sport recreationally, aspiring to enter your first race or triathlon or competing at a higher level I can help you to meet your goals. As a keen runner and triathlete myself, I know how important getting your nutrition and hydration right is and how this can make all the difference in terms of performance.
Everyone has individual nutrition and hydration requirements that differ based on age, gender, body weight, the type, intensity and volume of training being undertaken as well as individual goals, food habits, likes and dislikes, specific dietary requirements and lifestyle.
As a Performance nutritionist I use my many years of clinical knowledge, qualifications, and skills to address all of your requirements producing a bespoke and tailored plan for you to improve health, well being and performance.
Each plan is tailored to meet individual goals. Everyone’s goals are different and may include, losing weight, building muscle, reducing gastro-intestinal symptoms, improving performance, reducing fatigue, increasing energy levels, fuelling correctly or simply being reassured that a pattern of eating is balanced nutritionally.
Performance nutrition plans are also structured with varying levels of support to meet athletes needs.
I offer a range of personalised consultations & services including:
One to one personalised Sports Performance Nutrition Consultations and follow-up consultations to meet individual requirements and goals.
Comprehensive dietary analysis Report and Recommendations including example meal plans and recipe ideas.
Bespoke training nutrition and race day nutrition and hydration plans (event specific)
