'As a Registered Dietitian with years of experience and a love of distance running, I offer tailored nutrition advice and structured diet plans specifically periodised to your schedule, to optimise your training, race day, and recovery. Consultations can take place face to face (London) or virtually, and consist of one-off appointments or ongoing sessions as part of your race day build up. My primary interest is delivering vegetarian and plant-based advice, but all dietary preferences are welcome.'

🇩🇰 Copenhagen HM: 70:41 and 2 PBs in 8 days ❤️

The wettest race of my life, but certainly one of my proudest too.

Still getting faster at 41 and after 15 years of running...anyone who thinks pinpoint nutrition doesn't make the difference is:

a) wrong, and
b) in need of a better coach.

Great event, more to come! Love this game.

15:52! New parkrun and 5k PB 🥳

I thought my sub 16 days (well, 'day'...it's only happened once before) might be behind me, but apparently not! Maybe at 41 I'm just getting started.

I threw everything at it this morning in terms of pinpoint nutrition and general prep, and found a way to finish 5k season on an unexpected high.

Pretty amazing to be part of a full sub 16 parkrun top ten 🤯.

33:27 and 🥈but not the race I wanted. A few thoughts and snaps from Battersea CTS 10k:

First race for a month, and while not a goal race, I expected much closer to my PB (32:45). I ended up just one second behind first place after a decent finish, but I'd give it a 3/10 overall.

Prep was good but an evening 10k really is so tough on the body after a 5am start and full day on ICU. The body felt ++ inflamed when I tried to sleep.

Debut for the much hyped new Pumas. Really wanted to feel the love, but certainly yet to be convinced.

Massive PB for one of my long term clients helped soften the disappointment. He's having one of those years 👊.

And on the jog back to the tube, a little reminder of how lovely London is in summer (especially August when it's empty).

New parkrun PB 🥳 16:03

First time doing and it didn't disappoint as a PB target course. Busy, yep, but less of an issue than expected, and lots of fast runners to keep me humble (see pic 2...16:03 only gets you 10th place and a barcode bin already half full).

The old PB (16:20) was in need of a refresh, and I've been waiting over 2 years for a free Saturday on a fast course, so pretty happy to tick that off ✅.

Being honest, I wanted more today and thought sub 16 was on. Found a great group to draft for first half, but left on my own second half which was tougher and cost me.

PB is a PB though and I'll take it gladly. And I really do prefer morning races ❤️.

41 🧁🥳

Roll on another year of the juggle! Trying to be a half decent dad / husband / dietitian / coach...and of course, runner.

Got some lofty running (and professional) goals for the year ahead, and I'll throw everything at it while some lifetime PBs are still just about possible.

Equally though, with age comes the realisation that health > everything else, so I'll settle for that too.

#41 🎉🎂🎁🎈

It's not often you check the official race results and discover:

A) Time upgraded by 1 sec, and
B) Really good race photo!

16:05 becomes my second fastest official 5K time, and fastest for nearly two years. Happy Friday 😁.

5k season opener last night: 16:06 😁

Would have bitten your hand off for that! Awaiting official time but I think that already equals last year's best at the first attempt, and my equal second fastest 5k time ever.

There's always an element of dread for evening 5ks (I'm a morning person and inevitably felt sluggish by 7pm, after a 5am start and 12h working day), but I decided to accept and embrace the unique 5k demons yesterday. Easier said than done, but a good start and hopefully setting the tone for summer.

Might be eyeing up sub 16 again soon, and I didn't expect to be saying that, as I turn 41 next month. There's still a little gas in these ageing legs 👴.

SENR Practitioner 🎉

Last Friday was a milestone day on the professional front.

I received the welcome news that my portfolio application for 'Practitioner' status on the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR) had been approved.

This may not mean much to the casual observer, but it is essentially the official stamp of quality and credibility in our industry, and what differentiates us from the self-appointed diet experts you'll find elsewhere on this app...

It was a huge piece of work to squeeze in to a particularly busy phase of life, so I am not going to be shy about shouting about it!

If you want to optimise your nutrition with SENR's newest Practitioner, you know where to come 🙋‍♂️.

The next phase 😎

Not posted on here for weeks, so just a little update:

I enjoyed a little downtime (mentally / physically / socially) after the triple marathon spring, and now kicking back in to gear.

Have booked some very exciting goal races for the next 6-9 months and the 🔥 is absolutely burning to nail some lifetime PBs while I still can.

Not smashing every session currently, but staying disciplined and enjoying it. This morning was a good example...parkrun at 150s HR, and I had to let first place ease past me as I think ahead to tomorrow's long run.

Note to self / all: it's bloody warm out there...get out early tomorrow.

Not quite a PB, but I still feel it was worth the engraving at store on Oxford St today 🏅

TWH 2:31:12 2025

Heading back to work on ICU today has reminded me how proud I should be...everyone being so kind and generous with praise, and sharing their own stories of spectating or watching on TV.

(And yes, the medal comes everywhere throughout week 1 post marathon...the freebies are still in full flow 😉 🍕🍺)

The legs feel pretty good tbh, but after 3 marathons in 9 weeks, I will respect the recovery and take it easy. Overdue blog of a very eventful start to running in 2025 is incoming!

29/04/2025

How about this for a weird stat 😲...

210th overall in London Marathon 2024
210th overall in London Marathon 2025

, do I win some kind of consistency award? Can any of the other 50,000+ runners match this?!
