Will it make me faster?

Weight management in endurance training can make a big difference but can also require some fine tuning.

Do you want to lose weight but not sure how to do this while training? Getting it wrong can lead to fatigue, underperforming and increased risk of injury.

✨Prioritize Performance Over the Scale

✨You still need to fuel workouts, don’t just cut calories!

✨Match intake to training load

✨Time your nutrition to your training sessions.

Avoid crash diets. Your body is your engine. Starving it won’t make it faster — fuelling it will. 💥

Power to ratio is a fine balance.

Your training weight target can be different to race weight target. Race weight is not always sustainable or healthy, be realistic about your target weight.

If you have a significant amount to lose, try and do this out of season.

Having support from a Sports Dietitian can make a big difference - You can find more information on our website www.sunlightnutrition.co.uk

Creatine in endurance training

Creatine is one of the few supplements with strong evidence for performance enhancement, though its benefits depend on the sport and training style. It’s not just for bodybuilders; it can play a role in endurance training which incorporates varying intensities and intervals.

🏃‍♂️ Boosts high-intensity bursts
🔁 Speeds up recovery
🧬 Enhances muscle energy reserves
💪 Helps fight fatigue during long sessions

Food first, but not only food.

Meat and fish are good sources of creatine, but supplementation can be beneficial for some athletes, especially those who have lower intakes of animal protein.

20/11/2025

🏃‍♀️💪 Will protein make you faster?

Not all protein is created equal. The type, timing & quality matter when it comes to endurance, recovery & performance.

🥚🍗 Real food or supplements? Whole food sources like eggs, lean meats, dairy, tofu, and legumes offer additional nutrients and ideally form the basis of your performance nutritional plans, but supplements (powders, bars, drinks) can complement your plan and help you meet your nutritional targets.

🧠 Train your gut. 🚫 Nothing new on race day. Practice your fuel during training to avoid surprises.

👩‍⚕️ Confused by mixed messages? Our sports dietitian can help you to get the food right first and then compliment with supplements where needed to build a personalised plan that fits your goals, reduces injury risk & boosts performance.

Will it make me faster?

🏃‍♀️💪 Want to train harder, recover faster, and feel stronger? Don’t skip the protein!

Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders — endurance athletes need it too. Whether you're running, cycling, or swimming, it helps to:
• 🔧 Repair muscles after tough sessions
• ⚡ Boost aerobic capacity through better training adaptation
• 🛡️ Support your immune system during intense blocks
• 🍽️ Keep you full and fuel your performance

📸 Tip: Practice your race-day nutrition during training. And remember — nothing new on race day!

Do you want to know more about building up your glycogen stores, how to carb load, what to eat on race day and how to refuel after training sessions?

Adequate carbohydrate intake helps maintain intensity and delay fatigue. Glycogen depletion (energy stored in muscle and liver) leads to “hitting the wall,” a sudden drop in energy and performance.

Knowing how much Carbohydrate to take during exercise can be confusing and is often dependant on the duration and intensity of the exercise. Our Sports Nutrition Dietitian can help to debunk the myths and support you to create a bespoke plan for your training.

Will it make me faster?

Did you know you can manipulate your carbohydrate intake to support your endurance training? or maybe you want to know more about train low, race high?

Using different amounts, types and timings of carbohydrate in your training can help your gut to adapt. This reduces the risk of gastrointestinal problems on race day, as well as supporting your performance.

Our Sports Nutrition Dietitian works with you to create a personalised plan to support you and your body within your sport to get the best gains.

Did you know that Vitamin D does more than just support bone health?
It's also crucial for your immune system, mood regulation and even muscle function.

Low vitamin D levels are more common than you think - especially in colder months or for people who spend most of their time indoors.

Public Health England and NICE recommend that EVERYBODY takes a Vitamin D supplement containing 10 micrograms (400IU) of a Vitamin D supplement per day from October to April.

How much and when should you take caffeine for your specific sport?

Are you confused by the mixed messages out there and ready to prioritise your training and race?

Our Sports Dietitian can help you to tailor an individualised plan and put the evidence into context for you. We can support you by talking through the potential gains and how to minimise the side effects.

You can book an appointment and find out more on our website www.sunlightnutrition.co.uk

Have you heard about using caffeine in training but don’t know how much to take or when?

Do you want to maximise the benefits for your race or training programme?

Caffeine is one of the few aids that has evidence supporting its use for endurance athletes.

The evidence shows it improves alertness, reduces tiredness, increases endurance and may also reduce muscle soreness and aid recovery! But is it the right choice for everyone?

Siobhan our Dietitian specialises in Sports Nutrition and can help you to maximise the benefits of using caffeine in your training and improve your performance with bespoke support, tailored to you as an individual.

Are you using a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic or Mounjaro to support weight loss or to reduce the urge to binge eat?

Are you worried about losing control of your eating or gaining weight if you stop taking the medication?

Going through this journey without support can be really hard and feel lonely at times. We understand and can help you develop healthy habits and transition off medication. The research suggests that weight is often regained if medication is stopped without support and with strategies in place to develop healthy habits.

Our Dietitians Siobhan and Louise are experts in this field and currently have face to face or virtual appointments available.
