Thereâs a lot of information out there about sports gels and it can be confusing. There's a huge variety of brands and flavours and the content of them varies as well. Not all gels are created equally.

Most athletes are looking to be in peak physical condition for their A race. For endurance events like Ironman where you have to carry your weight across a long distance, performance can be improved with a good power to weight ratio. But itâs a delicate balance between being light, strong and fast and falling into a hole because youâve under fuelled too aggressively to get there.
Here are my 7 Tips To Drop Body Fat While Still Maintaining Energy Levels And Performance Through An Ironman Build:
It can be a challenge to eat and drink when youâre running. Your tummy is jiggling up and down, itâs hard to breathe and chew. Itâs also common to experience gut symptoms like nausea, bloating, diarrhoea and vomiting.

Good morning and welcome to coffee and questions! I am live on Facebook over here, in case you see me looking from different places and Instagram over here. So hopefully you can hear me. I've got my headphones in. Yep! Alright, cool. So this morning, I wanted to introduce to you something I've cooked up. Good morning Bec Baird and Tesla and Nick. Yeah, something I've cooked up which I'm pretty excited about. And you'll hear more about it over the coming ...
Coffee & Questions âď¸
I went on a little tangent today for coffee & questionsâŚwhich is not usual for me.
But I wanted to give you permission to invest in yourself.
Too often I see clients last, after theyâve tried every diet and yo-yoâd for years, or broken themselves with chronic fatigue or injury.
Nutrition becomes a fix rather than prevention.
Iâd encourage you to prioritise your health and control the controllables. After all, your body is your temple and you only have one! Treat it with the respect it deserves. Particularly in such crazy times! What you put in your mouth is something only you have control over!
Because at the end of the day, I want you to feel great! Energised and well. Something you might not have felt for a while if you havenât got your nutrition dialled in.
Let me know if any of this resonates with you or if this was the butt kick you needed to get your nutrition sorted. For life! đŹđ¤

Good morning everyone and we...
How are you doing? No really?
Can you think of one positive thing thatâs happened in your life as a result of Covid-19?
For me, itâs meant my husband now works from home pretty much full time. This means that heâs so much more involved in the day-to-day running of our household and our family which has been awesome.
Let me know in the comments below what positive thing has happened in your life?
Today I also helped Chris with meeting his protein, iron and B12 needs after stomach surgery.
And also Nella with a simple strategy to help maintain her weight with a huge reduction in training load post-injury.

Good morning everyone! Welcome to Coffee and Question! So I had a couple of weeks break there because my voice failed me, itâs still feeling pretty scratchy.
