When you're in training, aiming to beat personal goals, what you eat can make all the difference to your performance. This is the book every amateur athlete needs to fuel their training - a practical, enjoyable, real diet that fits in with your everyday life. Renee McGregor works with elite athletes to enhance their performance, and in Part 1 of the book she shares the cutting edge science behind sports nutrition in an accessible way, so that you can achieve the results you want, whatever your sport and regardless of what level you train at.
