Disclaimer: I am not a registered dietician, nutritionist, naturopath or even a self-confessed nutrition guru. I am just a man, trying to work this stuff out. +++ Over the years, I have drastically changed how I eat, how I consume, how I recover and how I train. Nutrition is the […]
As you know – I love Rehidrat. It’s the absolute cornerstone of my nutrition when it comes to hydration and recovering pre-and-post training and events. For 2014, we have produced some training and racing tips with them – when I say ‘we’ – its the very good-looking and extremely fast […]

Last weekend was the 2 Oceans Half Marathon. Here is a quick synopsis of my race: 1:17:34 moving time. Great run considering the dodgy knee and sinus problems. I was super stoked even though I know there were a few minutes lost. Could well have been a smashing PB. Really […]
