Tapering is a crucial phase in the final weeks before a race or competition where training volume is gradually reduced to allow for full recovery and peak performance. During this period, nutrition plays a key role: we focus on optimizing energy stores through strategic fuelling, supporting muscle repair, and managing digestion. Proper carbohydrate loading, hydration, and micronutrient balance can make a real difference in how strong and fresh you feel at the start line.

I use the skinfold method, a reliable and widely accepted approach in sports nutrition. By measuring skinfold thickness at key sites on the body, combined with weight and waist circumference, we can estimate body fat percentage and monitor changes over time in a consistent and structured way.

I don't promote restrictive or short-term diets. Instead, I offer flexible, science-based nutrition strategies that are fully personalised to your goals, lifestyle and preferences. My aim is to support long-term results, performance, and a healthy relationship with food, without unnecessary rules or limitations.
