‘Why do I always feel tired?’ ‘Why do my injuries not heal quickly?’ Why do I always seem to have a cold?’ ‘Believe it or not these are common problems that can haunt an athlete throughout his or her career’ says course author Simon Hartley.

CHRIS COOK, GB Swimmer & Commonwealth Champion

Roger Spry

Chris found that he was often tired when he followed the high carbohydrate diet that he thought was ideal for an athlete. Following his analysis, we discovered that Chris was more suited to a diet that was higher in proteins and fats. As he started eating according to his personal plan, Chris began to train at a higher intensity and found that his recovery between sessions increased.

Consequently, he is able to do high quality strength work alongside his intense training in the pool.
