“Since working with Martin I have enjoyed my most successful triathlon ever, setting significant personal best Ironman, Half Ironman and Marathon times. This has been possible due to the positive weight, compositional and all round health benefits from Martin’s eating plan. The changes I have made have resulted in uninterrupted training, the absence of niggling illness and injuries that would usually accompany my high training load. I have enjoyed better recovery and therefore am getting more from the 2-3 sessions a day I am completing.

My personalised plan includes an eating plan, post training recovery strategies and phased and specific supplementation. In competitive Ironman racing nutrition has
often be referred to as the ‘fourth discipline’, a challenge that Martin has approached with meticulous attention to detail, quickly familiarising himself in aero hydration systems, fuel belts and other associated long course triathlon
paraphernalia!

Before working with Martin I probably typified a lot of long course triathletes – fat phobic, carb junkie, over trained and under eating! Now, at 34 years old, I am lighter, leaner and healthier and consequently am enjoying the form of my life, culminating in a 54 minute personal best performance over the Ironman distance of 10:35:19.

If you are serious about performance and nutrition you need to work with
