Some context to me going on about carb all the time xx (sorry not sorry 🫶🏼)

Carbs are our bodies main fuel⚡️without them - we simply do not work properly - hello fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, injuries… the list goes on - it’s like trying to run a car without fuel, you ain’t going anywhere 😒

As athletes, we rely on carbs to support performance & fuel our workouts (as well as our daily lives)⚡️no room for restriction here ❌

Carbs are so often demonised on social media but I’m here to be the light in the carb hating world 🌞 - and give you unlimited permission to get your carbs in ✅

But how many carbs should you be having? This can vary widely between individuals with some athletes needing up to 12g/kg/day 😮 this can be hard to fit within your other macros and this is where a sports dietitian is key to support 👏🏼✅

🏃‍♀️Run an honest 15km with me as a sports dietitian training for a half marathon ⚡️

Safe to say - I was not prepared enough for this training run 😅 - girl needs to listen to her own advice 😂

Learnings:
✅ More fluid when it’s warmer out
✅ More carbs (always ⚡️😂)

But, to say I was puffing running 5km in January, I’m pretty buzzing I’ve managed 15km & still felt pretty good the next day 👏🏼😂 - the power of nutrition for recovery is the best 💯

Thank you for coming along on this journey with me 🤍 Follow to see how I get on at my half marathon in Italy 🇮🇹🏃‍♀️🫶🏼

📍Lands End Parkrun

Back at it being a park run tourist again👏🏼🙌🏼 and this weekend was a visit down to Land’s End to make the most of the Cornish coast before it gets too busy in the summer months ✅

Fortunately the rain held off for us 🙌🏼 & we had a lovely stroll around admiring the coastal views 🌊😍

A must if you’re down in Cornwall for the weekend! 👏🏼🫶🏼

Park run fuel:
🍞 ~60 minutes before: chocolate chip brioche rolls (we stayed in a hostel the night before so nice and easy to take with us)
☕️ Post: coffee & lemon cake ofc followed by a hearty lunch later on⚡️

Let me know which parkrun we should try next ⬇️

Women are chronically underfuelled — and most don’t even realise it 👀

Years of diet culture have taught women to:
⬇️ Eat less
❌ Ignore hunger
😳 Fear carbs
⏳ Shrink their bodies

But your body isn’t designed to run on restriction 😴⛔️

Underfuelling can lead to fatigue, hormonal disruption, poor training performance, food obsession, and low energy 😮

Food is not something you have to “earn”
It’s fuel⚡️- for our bodies and minds 🫶🏼

This International Women’s Day I want to encourage more women to nourish their bodies properly and step away from the pressure to constantly eat less 🙌🏼

👋🏼 A little bit about me…

It’s been a while and there are a few new faces round here (welcome!) so let me give a brief introduction to myself & why I do what I do 🫶🏼

First of I love a bit of gym, running, yoga, and spending time with my gorg friends 🤍 (when I do get free time 😅)

I started this page way back in first year of uni (2020 😮) during covid sharing recipes & nutrition tips with no aim - just a bit of fun (and distraction from doing uni work 😂)

Once I’d graduated, the page became dietitianellen to reflect my new status 💁🏼‍♀️😮‍💨 and the page shifted towards nutrition tips alongside sharing the odd recipe 🥘

While in my final year of uni, I completed my first half marathon 🏃‍♀️🙌🏼 however lost 5kg due to under-eating, and had no fueling strategy (other than scranning a few jelly babies) which resulted in me hitting ‘the wall’ and coming short of my goal time by 6 minutes ⏳🥲 - despite being an almost qualified dietitian, I knew nothing about Sports Nutrition other than what I’d learnt from Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️

Since graduating, I’ve completed my PgCert in Sports Nutrition and really solidified the power of nutrition in this area. Adequate fueling isn’t an added bonus within sports, it’s essential - even for those who consider themselves amateur athletes 🫡

Under-nourishment can have long term consequences on our health and performance - I’ve learnt that the hard way, and I want to help others to prevent this happening to them ❤️

Join me on my journey & hopefully I can help you on yours 🏅
