Correct fitness and diet preparation is essential when training for triathlons, ultra running, marathons or elite sports people.

Understanding the demands, requirements and physical needs during these events is vital to elite and ultra performance. All programmes are tailored to meet the specific training needs and goals of the sport or event.

Having completed the 25th Marathon des Sables, and being placed 4th British woman, 326th overall and 26th woman, I understand the training and nutritional needs for anyone who is contemplating a similar challenge.
