Join Renee McGregor, and explore how best to fuel your endurance adventures and events. Renee is a performance nutritionist to Olympians and recreational athletes alike, so this evening is a must for anyone with endurance goals, be they by bike, on foot or in the water!
Ever increasing numbers of recreational athletes are training for endurance, adventure and ultra events such as:
- Sportives ranging from 80km to 300km
- Land’s End to John O’Groats rides
- Ironman or Slateman triathlons
- The Dragons Back race or Leadville Trail 100
- The Transcontinental, Trans Pyrenees or North Cape 4000 races
Looking to elite sport for training and nutritional guidance might seem a logical decision for recreational athletes.
However, as Renee will explain, training (and eating) like a pro actually may not be the best way to achieve your performance goals!
At this special event, we’ll delve into:
- RED-S: relative energy deficiency in sports (insufficient energy intake relative to the amount of training being undertaken)
- A low carb diet and athletic performance (considerations for women and men)
- Fasted training – is it a good idea?
- What should you eat – and when – to support training and recovery
- Performance, weight, and relationships with food

Tickets for this special event are £10 each including a deliciously healthy buffet of flatbreads, dips and salads. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
