The Performance-Nutrition Mistakes Holding Back Your Training — with Ollie Marchon and Liam Holmes

When most of us hear the word ‘diet’, we think weight loss. But eating to lose fat and eating to perform at your best aren’t necessarily the same thing.

In part one of our three-part performance series, in association with Samsung, MH Fitness Director Andrew Tracey is joined by Ollie Marchon and performance nutritionist Liam Holmes to explore what it really means to fuel your training.

They discuss the signs that you’re under-fuelled, why hard sessions aren’t necessarily productive sessions and how eating more could improve your performance, recovery and mood without sacrificing your physique. They also explain why you shouldn’t be afraid of carbohydrates, how to practise your race-day nutrition in training and the simple 30/90 rule for fuelling before and after every workout.
