“Before working with Joel my nutrition knowledge was extremely limited, and after a few short sessions he had me caught up on all the basics. This was particularly helpful for identifying the nutrition I need on a daily basis, and how I could efficiently, and cheaply make minor changes to my diet to tailor it better to my training regime. We then dived deeper into much more specific topics, the intricacies of race fuelling, and how and when I should be fuelling my training runs. Joel is amazing at dispelling misinformation on controversial topics, he draws balanced and tailored conclusions based on the most up-to-date literature.
I've applied Joel's advice in numerous ways including; increasing my vitamin D intake, making sure my protein goals are met, fueling at the right time for the right runs, and most significantly getting my race nutrition dialled, both in the buildup and during the race. Joel has helped me work all of this, and more, around a busy schedule, tight budget, and a social life.
It's hard to quantify the impact of each change I've made to my nutrition, but I have noticed since taking on these changes, I've felt stronger and healthier as a whole, I recover quicker from my training, and I have been much more successful at avoiding and dispelling illness. I have also seen race results improve, as I prepare much more effectively, and benefit from more consistent, and higher quality training.
