S1-E10 || Fuelling For Athletes || with The Performance Canteen || Expert

Did you know getting your nutrition right could give you that competitive edge? || @fitterfasterhappier || @performance_canteen ||
For all parents, athletes, and coaches out there, nutrition is such a key part of the training process. Fuelling correctly allows your body to optimise the adaptations made from training needed to get faster. It also leads to better recovery, and can prevent athletes having issues with RED-S ( relative energy deficiency in sport)
Following on from the episode about Molly's story with RED-S, I am talking with 2 registered sports and public health nutritionists: Kate and Fran.
Kate and Fran run The Performance Canteen (Home Page (performancecanteen.co.uk) @performance_canteen (Instagram) which helps young athletes fuel their best performances, and provides simple, easy to follow nutritional advice to do this.
Obviously nutrition is a huge topic and we can't cover every thing in a single episode. In this episode some of the ideas we talk about include:

- The importance of Nutrition
- Eating enough as an athlete
- Protein - getting enough protein, the hype around protein, protein products, protein powder
- Key fuelling habits for athletes
- How to navigate the numbers and recommended guidelines
- Fuelling as a vegetarian or vegan
- The effect of training on appetite
- The effect of the menstrual cycle on metabolic rate

This weeks sees the start of having the much promised experts on the podcast! Moving forward we will be having a range of exciting experts and specialists in all topics running and female running, but of course we will continue to have athlete's .
