Getting to the finish line is one thing, but doing a PB is another

And when it comes to trying to get your nutrition plan sorted and optimised… well, things can get confusing pretty quickly. There’s so much misleading information out there, so many quacks without the science to back up their claims, and one wrong move can really knock you off track.

No matter what sort of cyclist you are, your nutritional needs are different to the average Joe

You wouldn’t fill up a race-car at the servo down the road and expect it to perform at its peak. Likewise, as an athlete (yes, that is you!), you need to make sure you’re not compromising your performance through sub-standard nutrition or lacklustre health strategies.

See, when you’re pushing your body to the limit, the smallest things can have a massive impact: eating too much or too little, not getting enough of the right nutrients, not allowing your body enough time to recover…[/text_block]

But fuelling your body for peak performance doesn’t need to be hard

• Design a nutrition game-plan that’s uniquely tailored to your body
• Figure out the optimum way to eat for your needs – when, where and what
• Stabilise and boost your energy levels – all day, every day
• Be able to juggle the energy demands of a hectic work schedule, training and family/friend commitments
• Choose healthy snacks and prepare quick and easy meals
• Perform at your best every time

…All without expensive pills, potions or gimmicks.

It’s all 100% achievable, no matter what age, what sport, or what level you’re at. You really can start achieving your best results EVER – and feeling really good while you’re doing it…[/text_block]

But to make it happen,you need the expert tools, strategies and guidance that can take you to the next level.

Here’s what we’ll cover….. 

• The foundations of peak performance – what it is, why it’s so important, and how it applies to your life
• How to use the principles of champions to enhance your own performance, so that you can achieve more in both your sport and your daily life
• The 4 critical steps required to achieve competence in any new behaviour or skill
• The tried-and-true strategies for removing your barriers to success

Week 2 – Getting Set This week, we’re getting up close and personal with your own daily performance levels, because we all know: how you show up in your training sessions is how you’ll show up on game day. We’ll be looking at:

• The major factors that impact your productivity and output, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and mental health
• How to monitor and manage your ‘energy in’ versus ‘energy out’, PLUS how to cycle your energy (without the ‘hit and miss’ guesswork)
• Expert strategies for recovery and renewal (a factor that’s so often forgotten in elite diet and exercise programs)
• How to design your own daily, weekly, monthly and annual game plan, so that you know exactly how to get where you want to be. 
• What to do when it’s party time – Where does alcohol fit in? How does it affect your performance? And how can you ensure your progress isn’t impaired?

Week 3 – Hacking Your Before and After: Pre and Post-Exercise Nutrition You can only push hard when you’ve got the right energy in your system. And you can only recover when you’re giving your body the right building blocks to renew and replenish itself. This module is all about getting strategic about those key windows for nutrition intake. We’ll get to the nitty-gritty of:

• The secrets behind timing, quantity and quality (which is likely NOT what you’ve been told before)
• Practical tips on meals, snacks and products – because there’s no point in unachievable, time-consuming or expensive food suggestions
• Getting micro on your macros: The real truth about fat, protein and carbohydrate consumption – how much, how often, and how to tweak it to achieve your goals

Week 4 – All Systems GO: Nutrition for Competition A quick Google on ‘performance nutrition’ will have you trawling through thousands of drinks, gels, powders, potions and magic formulas. But what do the pros really use? What does your body truly need during these high-pressure situations? And how can you avoid the common mistakes that way too many athletes make? This week we dive into the topic you’ve been waiting for: eating to win. We’ll cover:

• What, when, and how much: the science behind fuelling optimum performance. (Includes loads of real life case studies from years of working with sporting champions)
• The actual foods I suggest to my clients – the products, snacks, and meals that have helped them reach their peak and achieve their best. (Includes suggestions for different types of sports and events)
• How to manage your body weight and fat levels (and how to tell when your body is truly at its fighting weight). PLUS: the quickest way to get back on track when things go awry
• Q and A on specific events – Got a specific question? A unique event? Now’s your chance to get all your burning questions answered so you can stop wondering and start winning

Week 5 – You are what you DRINK: Hydration for peak performance The question of hydration can be a sticky one for athletes – Is water best? How do I keep my electrolytes balanced? Which energy drinks are actually good for me (and which are full of junk)? Your body requires very specific hydration levels to function at its peak. This week, we’re going to wade through all the urban myths and marketing fluff to figure out what YOU need to drink to optimise your performance. We’ll dive into:

• The truth about hydration – what to drink, when to drink it, how much to have, and how to tell if you’re doing it right
• Water versus caffeine, energy drinks, electrolyte drinks etc. – How to make the right choice for your body and your event
• How to boost your health with antioxidants, calcium and iron

Week 6 – Supplements for Success There’s a lot of BS out there when it comes to supplements. What’s actually worth spending money on (and what’s not worth the packet it comes in)? What do the pros always have in their kitchen (and what do they know to steer clear of)? And how can you tell if a supplement is doing good for your body, or is just a bunch of expensive fillers? You’ll learn:

• How to supplement for success – the products and brands the pros use
• Essential minerals for maximum energy. These are the ‘secret weapon’ nutritional tips that have helped my elite clients cross the finish line and come out on top (includes daily requirements and best sources)
• How to maximise your health and recovery with fibre and good gut bacteria (so that you don’t just have enhanced performance, you’ve got optimal wellness too)

[/text_block]

Basically this course is about taking control of your personal nutrition to give you the edge you’ve been craving.

The truth is, you can’t always control the myriad of physical and mental demands on your body.

But you CAN choose the fuel you put in, if you know how…[/text_block]

Working without Julie would be like trying to play football without my boots

Matthew Pavlich, Captain, Fremantle Dockers

The Hawaiian Ride for Youth is held annually in March across 5 days with 150 riders covering over 700kms on their way from Albany to Perth tocombine their resources and raise funds for Youth Focus to assist in the prevention of youth suicide, depression and self-harm. Since its inception in 2003 Julie Meek has played an integral part in the riders preparation by way of annually presenting nutritional information to ensure the riders are prepared pre, during and post training and during the ride itself. Julie’s presentation style and knowledge without doubt leaves a lasting impression with the riders as nutritional chatter by the riders in the peloton is of common occurrence. She is the consummate, extremely skilled and accomplished professional.

Peter Trench, Managing Director, Trench Health & Fitness and Founder of Ride for Youth

Julie came into my life in 1996 when she designed a nutrition plan for me when training and racing and this combined with the correct mix of training enabled me to compete in the Forster Ironman 1997 and FINALLY fulfilled my long dream of qualifying and competing in the Hawaiian Ironman in 1997…. 13 years later I’ve competed now in a total of 8 Ironman races , 15 Half Ironman races, 2 Marathons, 6 Half Marathons, 7 crossings (team) to Rottnest Island never losing the understanding of the importance of a healthy balanced diet should you want to maintain a very healthy work life together with an active sports life. The disciplines that have been instilled in me during this period are with hard work you can achieve most things however with hard work combined with the correct diet you can achieve EVERYTHING. For this I owe so much to the outstanding knowledge that Julie has and more importantly the very easy way Julie is able to communicate this knowledge so even the most uneducated (like me) can see the true benefits.”
