Since I started with your program a few months ago I have gone from strength to strength...

 

Having just completed my first ever K1 cycle event in the Coromandel, I felt I had to drop you this email to say a huge thank you for all your support, help and advice. Without which I wouldn't be feeling and performing to the level I am

When I started this journey my main goal was to improve my cycling along with losing some weight so I could to improve my all round performance (especially on the hills). Although I had a healthy diet , I wasn't eating the right amount of carbs and protein or hydrating my body well enough to get me through a cycle. At this point it was only doing 50-60 km's then I would "hit the wall" on the way back, having lost all my energy and strength.

Once you explained to me what my body needed to perform in the way I wanted it to, I soon came to realise that I hadn't been eating as well as I though I had been. All that bread and pasta that I thought was so good for me, which was going to give me all this energy and strength, only made me sluggish and slowed me down! (not what I needed with training on big hills)!  I also didn't realise that I had to eat while I was out there on my bike, I knew I had to take something, so a good old banana would do nicely thank you, along with 2 drink bottles filled with water. It was no wonder I didn't have anything left in the tank to get me home, my body needed fuel just like a car, you wouldn't fill your car with $10 of gas when you needed at least $30 to get you home, it would soon stop, leaving you high and dry!

My body has changed so much over these past few months in shape, strength and composition, having lost around 6 kg in weight, my body fat has reduced hugely from 24% to 17.6%.  I feel fitter and healthier than I have ever done at the ripe young age of 46. I don't mind admitting my age because I am proud of it, especially after the K1 event where I passed so many younger than me on the hills I came 7th in my age group, well under the 4hrs I had given myself ! (official time 3.44) although I did have to get off for a wee stop otherwise my time would have been 3.36 as shown on my bike !

I do know that because I ate well the night before the race (good carbs and protein plus hydrating) had with me my gels banana (yes the old trusted banana) 4 drink bottles...filled with hydration powder it was what got me through and kept me feeling strong even on the toughest of the hills! I ate everything in my sight afterwards and loved it all.

I really can't stress enough to anyone who wants to improve their lifestyle or feel healthy and great about themselves, to improve your all over body fitness, or set themselves a goal, this is the way to go. With a combination of the nutritional advice, plus the supplements really enhanced my performance to the next level.

Goals are there to be reached (and achieved). once you have reached that goal, there is always another one around the corner just waiting to takes it's place!

I have learnt so much and gained so much, I know now that to get the maximum benefits from your body and your training, you need to eat well and eat sensibly I eat more now that I have ever done and still have lost body fat while keeping up my strength and endurance,my greatest lesson has been this : Fuelling my body each and every day helps me train harder, faster and better I am no longer a wee mini ... I am a porshe!

Thank you so very much for showing me the way and giving me the right tools, without which I wouldn't be where I am today..next step..Taupo 160k's!
