What is your fuelling philosophy?
I believe in fuelling the work. Eat enough to support training, prioritise carbs around sessions, and keep it simple. No fads, no restrictions, just practical nutrition that works.

What do you eat before a race?
Race morning is all about reliability. I stick to foods I've tested hundreds of times – usually white rice or oat porridge, 3 hours before the gun.
How do you approach recovery nutrition?
The 30-minute window post-training is crucial. I prioritise protein and carbs immediately after, then a proper meal within 2 hours.

How do you eat well while travelling for races?
I always pack essentials: oats, honey sachets, rice cakes. Familiar foods mean no surprises. Every recipe has travelling tips built in.
