Nutrition

HOW IT WORKS

Your coaching begins with a comprehensive virtual consultation covering your training, goals, current dietary intake, preferences and any existing fuelling, recovery or gastrointestinal concerns. From there, we establish an individual nutrition strategy and maintain regular contact throughout the month. Your coach reviews your progress, responds to feedback and adjusts your recommendations as your training and requirements change. Where appropriate, food logging, body-mass monitoring and other relevant information can be used to support decision-making. Tracking is applied purposefully rather than required for every athlete.

HOW IT WORKS

Your coaching begins with a comprehensive virtual onboarding process covering your sport, training programme, performance goals, current physical capabilities, dietary intake, available equipment and lifestyle demands. Your individual strength and conditioning programme is delivered through TrainingPeaks. Alongside this, your nutrition strategy is developed and adjusted to support your changing training load, recovery requirements and competition schedule.

COORDINATED SUPPORT

This package does not include endurance training prescription, laboratory testing, body-composition analysis or VALD force-plate testing. These can be accessed separately or through an appropriate Elite Edge endurance coaching package. Booked separately, the two services cost £250 per month. The combined package provides coordinated support for £200 per month.

• Align energy intake with endurance and strength-training demands
• Coordinate harder strength sessions with appropriate fuelling and recovery
• Adapt nutrition when training volume or intensity changes
• Monitor progress against shared performance and body-composition goals
• Identify when further testing or specialist input may be beneficial

HOW IT WORKS

Ahead of the consultation, you will be asked to provide information about your sport, training schedule, goals, dietary preferences and any current fuelling, recovery or gastrointestinal concerns. Where relevant, you may also be asked to complete a food diary so that your current intake can be reviewed before the session. During the consultation, we examine how your nutrition supports your energy requirements, training demands and recovery before agreeing the most important areas for change.
