This website is about how I can help YOU with your triathlon nutrition rather than an opportunity for me to harp on about me. However, I accept that some people will want to know more about my journey and how I got to be doing this as a job.

As a child I was fat – one of my friends at school used to call me Chief Big Tits as result of the large flabby breasts I had developed from being a greedy young boy – I didn’t like that name, although now I have to admit it makes me smile.

I struggled with my weight up until about 19 when I found Sport.

This began for me rowing at my local club – I loved it from the word go.

The training was hard and as a young man, I began to see my body change, quickly.

I went from 90 KG to 70 KG in a few months, but……..

I still had some unwanted fat, guess what I did?

Train more and harder, it didn’t shift.

I knew nothing of nutrition and like many people thought the only way to lose that extra fat, along with training harder was to eat less.

It worked in short bursts but I would crash and burn often – which looked like cakes, biscuits, and pizza all at once – not smart!

As my sporting journey continued, I found running and triathlon.

I competed in a pool based sprint and did pretty well but if I am honest I felt a bit of a fraud because I didn’t look like an athlete even if my performance said I was one.

Like many people, I began to go longer with my racing and I didn’t get leaner if anything it began harder to lose fat.

Hence my interest in nutrition.

I’ve since studied the subject in detail and continue to do so both academically and in the field.

This led me to Nutrition Coaching and helping other people improve their health, performance and body composition – not necessarily in that order.

Hundreds of clients later and I am still learning and still engrossed in the subject – everyone is so different it is a job I hope I never bore of.

Now, I race less as I have two small girls and a growing business.

I still train every day or at least six from seven and I have never felt better – even at 40 years old.

Why?

I believe it is the combination of wholesome, nutritious foods, good quality training and doing a job I love.
