Welcome to episode 026 of The Plant-Based Revolution Podcast. 
In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kate Percy from Go Faster Food. 

Kate radically altered her family's diet to help her husband, Mark, who was struggling in his training for the New York Marathon. Mark's performance was totally transformed and the whole family felt more energised! Kate didn't last long watching from the sidelines. She decided to run a marathon herself. And the rest is history!

Fast forward a decade and Kate is one of the Sunday Times Maserati Top 100 Game-Changing Entrepreneurs. Based on Kate’s simple ethos that 'Real Food Fuels You Better®', she has published 3 best-selling ‘Go Faster Food’ books, is food guru for Great Run’s Athletic’s Weekly, in-house chef for 220 Triathlon and has created an ‘eat-like-an-athlete’ education programme which is funded by the sales of her Go Bites energy balls.

Mastering Ride London 100

In this episode of the Neil Damrell Show, I share insights and advice on improving uphill cycling efficiency through effective weight management. 


I highlight the challenges cyclists face when climbing with extra body weight and stress the significance of managing calorie intake rather than solely focusing on intense training. I recommend tracking calories consumed off the bike and creating a calorie deficit for weight loss, complemented by a smart nutrition plan. 


I share successes from my cycling mentorship program, including a client, Duncan, who significantly improved his performance by losing weight and enhancing fitness under our guidance. The episode introduces my mentorship program that offers personalized nutrition plans and mindset training, aiming for sustainable health and performance benefits. 


I urge cyclists to rethink their climbing strategies, emphasizing smarter nutrition and fueling methods to make uphill rides more manageable and efficient.
