It's fair to say that both Jason and Greg are very jealous of Dr Peter Herbert's lifestyle and who wouldn't be. Not only has he a lifestyle to die for but Peter's research may be important in helping us understand how we might be able to slow the tide of ageing. Could exercise and more particularly regular HIIT sessions be the magic formula?

Jason and Greg chat to Dr Sinead Roberts,  about fuelling to maximise performance.  Sinead advises athletes on how to make better use of nutrition to optimise their training, recovery and performance. Central to her philosophy is the recognition that no one size fits all in nutrition. Every body is different, and the needs of every body changes over time. What the body needs now is driven by sport, training load and lifestyle, as well as age, gender, genetic background, stress and physiological state.
