Another amazing lady who I've been working with this year ๐
Annette is a very active lady, who clocks up the miles weekly.
Meeting her calorie needs with such a high output is so important. This was our first goal. To find a balance to keep a healthy body composition that allows her to fuel, recover, and most importantly, enjoy her food.
From here, we knew how to adjust her energy intake on more active weeks or long run days.
Everything i suggest or adjust, she takes on board and applies without hesitation.
Annette is always full of questions, which i love ๐
and is so passionate about nutrition for both herself and her family.
We put a lot of work in this year.
Preparing for the Dublin Marathon was top priority.
Preparing her gut for a lot more carbs than she had previously taken on, carb loading, different fuelling methods, hydration and recovery.
Taking on the right amount of carbs for such a long run like a marathon is so important, and with Annette, gels just didn't sit well. So we tried out a few different ways, ending up with 20min top ups of jelly babies and a babyfood fruit pouch on the hour ๐ถ๐
Weeks out, she knew her numbers and had mastered everything leading into the big day.
She had a super run, and as every runner knows, all you want on the day is your plan to go well.
I continue to work Annette and absolutely love our appointments. She's such a lovely person.
Here's to the next big goal ๐ฅ๐ช๐
