You’ve put weeks or months into training for the Aberdeen Half Marathon, don’t let poor race nutrition hold you back.

One of the biggest mistakes runners make is either not carb loading at all or massively overdoing it the night before.

Carb loading isn’t about eating as much pasta as possible. It’s about topping up your muscle glycogen stores so you have enough fuel to perform on race day.

A few simple tips:
🏃 Start increasing your carbohydrate intake 1–2 days before the race.
🥯 Eat familiar foods you’ve practised with in training.
💧 Stay hydrated throughout the week, not just the night before.
🍌 Have a carbohydrate-rich breakfast 2–4 hours before the start.

Don’t be trying new foods.

Whether you’re chasing a PB or simply looking to enjoy the experience, a good nutrition strategy can make a huge difference to your running performance.

Good luck to everyone taking on the Aberdeen Half Marathon. Enjoy every mile!

If you’re training for running events, HYROX or hybrid events and want a structured training and nutrition plan, apply for coaching via the link in our bio.

Good training deserves good nutrition.

Whether your goal is fat loss, building muscle, improving your running, or performing better in HYROX, what you eat plays a huge role in your results.

The problem?

There are thousands of recipes online. They look great, but once you actually track them, many are hundreds of calories out or don’t match the macros they claim.

That’s where our Nutrition Club comes in.

Find a recipe you like? Send it to our group chat!

We’ll proof it, adjust it, and make it fit your goal.

🥗 Fat loss: Lower-calorie, high-protein, filling meals.
💪 Muscle gain: High-protein, calorie-focused recipes to support growth.
🏃 Performance: Balanced meals to fuel training and improve recovery for running, HYROX, and hybrid athletes.
❤️ Eating disorder friendly: No numbers or calorie tracking, just simple, balanced meals designed to support a healthy relationship with food.

No more guessing.
No more inaccurate recipes.
Just meals that support your goals.

Nutrition Club is available to all PT, Small Group Coaching, and Online Coaching clients, with a nutrition-only option available too.

From disappointment in Glasgow to a huge breakthrough in Berlin, Becky completely transformed her HYROX performance in just 8 weeks.

Her first solo HYROX highlighted key areas for improvement, particularly her station strength and running efficiency.

We didn’t even have the chance to get an initial call in. She apologised for the info dump, I called it perfect and we got straight to work 😂

Just a structured HYROX training plan, nutrition plan, and consistent effort.

While working full time, being a mum, and managing everyday life - it was a tough block, but she checked in, felt tired at times, we adjusted, she listened and trusted the process.

A massive 8+ minute personal improvement and, even more importantly, a hard earned sub 90 finish. 🔥

For anyone who has chased a time goal, you’ll know the pressure you put on yourself. In a short space of time, she smashed through a barrier that once felt out of reach and proved what can happen when you trust the plan.

This is what happens when smart training, strength work, running, and nutrition come together.

If you’ve got a HYROX race coming up and you’re serious about improving your performance, now is the time to start.

📩 DM “PLAN” to get more info or apply for online coaching via the link in my bio. Let’s build a personalised plan that fits your lifestyle, targets your weaknesses, and gets you race ready before your next event. Spaces are limited, so don’t leave your preparation until the last minute.

HP KUDUS!

A Sunday full of achievements, PBs and first time runs at both and Duthie Park!

What a feeling! Already can’t wait for the next one! 🤩👏
