Welcome to Go Faster Food,
food and nutrition for endurance athletes;
food for runners, cyclists, swimmers and rowers
Hello and welcome to my website. I have three major passions in life – marathon running, cooking and eating good food. Over my years of marathon training, I have 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.
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.
This website aims to add a little zest to your training programme, translating sound sports nutrition theory into practical advice and tasty recipes 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.
My new book, Go Faster Food, published by Vermilion, is now available. You can to buy it in all good bookshops, on Amazon and of course, on this website. Just click on the recipe page or my blog for a taster, or sign up for free regular recipes and my exclusive tips on eating for better athletic performance.

Spiced Lentil and Tomato Soup
Since the weather has become so autumnal, or dare I say, WINTERY, the Go Faster Food household has become a bit of a soup kitchen.
Home-made soups are packed with nutrients and are perfect for boosting both stamina and recovery! Thick hearty soups based on lentils or pulses and plenty of fresh vegetables, eaten with hunks of wholemeal crusty bread will keep you sustained for longer and are ideal for endurance, whereas broths and lighter vegetable soups are fantastic for recovery and rehydration after your workout and a great alternative to a sports drink if you can’t face anything sweet.
