Hello and welcome to Go Faster Food.

Go Faster Food was founded in 2009 by athlete and cook, Kate Percy, and provides active people with practical advice on how to eat for better athletic performance. Go Faster Food aims to add zest to your training programme, bringing dry sports nutrition science to life with mouth-watering recipes for training and racing to help  you achieve your full potential.

With a smile on your face and a properly fuelled body you can push yourself that extra mile, faster.

All athletes, serious and recreational, have unique nutritional demands. Achieving your personal best is not just about training hard. What, when and how much you eat can have a dramatic effect on your stamina, performance and recovery. Passionate about the link between better athletic performance and the vital role food plays in fuelling stamina and recovery, Kate Percy has developed a range of imaginative, nutritionally-balanced and energy-boosting recipes to complement any training programme, whether you’re a first-time half-marathon runner or an experienced athlete.

Kate’s book, Go Faster Food, published by Vermilion, is available in all good bookshops, on Amazon and of course, on this website. Just click on the recipe page or Kate’s blog for a taster, or sign up for free regular recipes and exclusive tips on eating for better athletic performance.

Kate’s work has been endorsed by Double Olympian, Liz Yelling, and Sue Baic MSc RD RNutr, Programme Director for the Master of Science in Nutrition Physical Activity and Public Health at the University of Bristol.

Chickpea Felafel

Felafel have been a staple in the Middle Eastern diet for centuries and are either eaten on their own, as part of a mezze or tucked into pitta bread with salad, tomatoes and usually tahini or yoghurt sauce. They make a quick and tasty lunch or light supper and are low G.I., low in fat and extremely nutritious. Great to keep you strong, healthy and on top training form. Chickpeas have a delicious nutty flavour and are packed with antioxidants to boost the immune system, plus carbohydrate, protein, vitamins, fibre and minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc.
