Marathon nutrition isn’t just about what you eat on race day 🏁
It’s about what you practise every month of training.

A simple 4-month focus:
• Month 1: consistency + foundations
• Month 2: fueling long runs + recovery
• Month 3: race strategy + gut training
• Month 4: taper, carb-loading + calm race week

This is exactly how I structure my online marathon nutrition programme—so runners feel prepared, fuelled, and confident on the start line.

If you’re training for a spring marathon and want a clear plan (not guesswork), the next course starts soon 👇

🚨Clean sport check-in for 2026🚨

If you compete under anti-doping rules, now is the time to check the WADA Prohibited List for 2026 - before it comes into force on 1 January 2026.

Substances and methods do change, and what was allowed this season may not be next year. This is especially important if you:
• Use supplements
• Take prescribed medication
• Compete in age-group or amateur events under WADA rules

⚠️ Remember: strict liability applies - athletes are responsible for everything they ingest, intentional or not.

As a sports nutritionist, I always encourage athletes to:
✔️ Review the updated list annually
✔️ Be cautious with supplements
✔️ Check medications in advance, not on race week

Clean sport protects your performance, your results, and your reputation.

Performance nutrition includes enjoyment 🎄

Consistency matters more than perfection - especially over the festive period.

Food isn’t just fuel. It supports energy, immunity, and recovery, and enjoying what you eat makes it far easier to stay consistent with your training and nutrition over time.

For endurance athletes, the goal isn’t “eating perfectly” through December - it’s:
✔️ Staying well
✔️ Supporting training adaptations
✔️ Turning up in January ready to build again

Festive food can absolutely be part of that picture.

Whatever you're training for, whether it's a marathon, an ultramarathon or triathlon, this is exactly the mindset I help athletes develop - fuel well, enjoy food, and stay consistent.

💬 What’s your favourite festive food? Me, I'm a mince pie fan. Batch 5 is currently in the oven!

Medal Monday 🥇
After a year of road running for Project: Find Some Speed, I knew the return to the trails would be a bit of a shock to the system — and it was.

But with the Arc of Attrition coming up in January, it’s time for some very specific prep.

Dorset delivered everything I needed and more:
🌬️ sideways winds
🌧️ endless mud
🐄 a cow-related detour over a gate
🎒 a perfect chance to test my pack and practice race-day fuelling

Tough miles, but exactly the kind that build confidence for the big one.

Who else has kicked off their winter ultra block? 🏃‍♀️🌄

November recap - a month of trails, training and fuelling!

🌄 Hong Kong Trails
Watching Four Trails took me right back to where my ultra-running journey began. Those Hong Kong mountain trails were the spark that eventually led me into sports nutrition - a good reminder of why I do what I do.

🥣 Seasonal Fuel
Our veggie patch delivered a lot of beautiful squash this year, so I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen. Roasted squash on a bowl of protein-rich dal has become a new favourite recovery meal.

DM me if you want the recipe.

🎄 Gift Performance This Christmas
I’ve launched Sports Nutrition Gift Vouchers - ideal for runners, triathletes and ultra runners who want to fuel smarter and work towards confident, strong performances in 2026.

Message me for details.

🏅 Brighton 10K
I squeezed in one last short race before shifting into a winter training block - and happily, still getting faster. Now it’s time to build mileage again for a bigger challenge in the new year.

What’s first on your race calendar for 2026?

🤯 Learning From the Pros
Sumo wrestlers were in London recently, and their approach to fuelling - fasted morning training followed by huge midday meals — is a fascinating reminder of how differently athletes fuel depending on their sport. Not something I’d recommend for endurance athletes, but always interesting to learn from other disciplines.

If you're preparing for a marathon, ultramarathon or triathlon in 2025, now’s the perfect moment to get your nutrition right.

A new review has taken a closer look at what we actually know about vitamin D supplementation — and the findings matter, especially for active people.

Vitamin D is essential for bone strength, muscle function, and overall health.
There are two main forms:
• D2 — found in plant-based foods
• D3 — produced when sunlight hits your skin + found in foods like oily fish and egg yolks

Around 1 in 6 people in the UK are deficient, and the research suggests that D3 is more effective than D2 at raising vitamin D levels.

Most D3 supplements are made from lanolin (sheep’s wool), so many plant-based athletes choose D2 instead — but based on the latest evidence, algae-derived D3 is a better choice. It’s more expensive, but significantly more effective at improving vitamin D status.

If you want to improve your running performance, explore our marathon and ultramarathon nutrition courses or message me to book a 1:1 session.

If you’re training through the darker months, it’s worth reviewing what you’re taking. 🌥️💪

Watching the documentary Four Trails yesterday took me straight back to trails of Hong Kong — to the mountains and beaches, the endless steps, the heat and humidity and happy memories of many trail races. My first ultra was on the Hong Kong trail, I volunteered at the Lantau 100, and my last race in Hong Kong was up and over Sunset and Lantau Peak and back again.

The Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge links all four major trails in Hong Kong covering about 298 km and around 14,500 m of elevation gain, non-stop over days and all self-supported.

If you get a chance, go see the film. has done a great job of capturing the beauty of the trails and both the struggle and motivation of the runners.

I’d love to know — which trail or route shaped your running the most?

On Sunday afternoon, after my long run, I curled up on the sofa with a book and a cup of tea.

These Heavy Black Bones by is a page-turner. It’s not just about sport but about growing up, not quite fitting in, and finding your place in the world. And it is a reminder that to excel at sport, or indeed anything, you need to love what you do and enjoy the process!

Thanks to and his Way of the Runner podcast for the recommendation!
