We recently worked with Natalie Gallant on her epic first hit out in the Kathmandu Coast to Coast.
•
•
The Coast to Coast is an ultra-endurance cross-terrain multi-modal (run, kayak, bike) stage race. For Natalie it was looking like 18 hours of continuous exercise, with limited opportunities to eat and drink. Consuming enough fuel to get her through was going to be a big enough challenge in itself!
•
•
“Train how you compete, compete how you train” is always a useful mantra to follow for performers, but not everyone knows that this applicable to your nutrition strategies when racing too. Often endurance athletes train the house down on little fuel and fluid intake, but then on race day try to consume copious amounts of food, gels, bars and sports drink on race day. This often results in gastrointestinal issues (bloating, gas, cramps, toilet stops etc), which is caused by your digestive system not being able to digest the type and amount food / fluids you need to take on board!
•
•
‘Gut’ training is exactly what we worked on with Natalie. We helped her to work out her needs, establish an achievable fuel and fluid intake plan, and then got her to train this intake plan alongside her prep for the race! This allowed her to meet higher intake needs without the daunting gut issues!

Sam’s as dedicated to his shift work as he is to the barbell, but this meant he was often fatigued and struggling to maintain condition (size, strength, and fitness). After reviewing his dietary intake against his training outputs it was easy to see that he was under-consuming protein & carbohydrates, and missing his timings with key feeds.
•
•
After putting together a weekly macro -management nutrition plan, which considered both his work & training schedule, and his overall goals; Sam started to see his energy levels and training gains go through the roof! Sam also reported that after learning about his macronutrient needs he started to take more notice of what foods contained too, and has been able to take more ownership of his intakes too!

Congratulations to new client for her recent performances at the National Track Cycling Championships. She had a huge week of racing to manage, but smashed it by reaching the Podium 4x times! Gold in the Standing Lap & Team Sprint, Silver in the Kierin, and Bronze in the Match Sprint.
•
•
With Lily we reviewed her training schedule to make sure she was consuming adequate energy (at the same time as hitting her macronutrients), to fuel recovery and adapt on a daily basis. We also checked over the range of supplements she was using providing advice on more appropriate (batch-tested) and effective options.

Our proudest story at to date. splits her time as an Occupational Therapist, Crossfitter (training out of ) and a Mum to little Ollie (and dogs; Bruce and Frank)!
•
•
We worked on helping Courtney establish some macronutrient targets that actually worked her for food preferences, diet intolerances, and total energy needs.
•
•
These are her words - “Alex helped me shift my focus from trying to deprive myself in order to lose weight, to how to eat to perform and optimise overall health and well-being. He took into consideration activity (CrossFit) but also health and hormonal issues when tailoring macros that were specific to my needs. I believe that proper nutrition helped to balance my hormones and contributed to an easy conception and healthy pregnancy.“

Congratulations to Enhance_Nutrition_Coaching client, Doug Dibley, who completed his first Half Ironman in Taupo last weekend. He really did the hard yards (and a lot of them) so we worked with Doug to understand how much fuel (and what type) he needed for training, and to individualize is race and plan!
