Sports Nutrition- Grow your own veg
As Andrew Hamilton remarked a couple of weeks ago on the blog festival with regards to sports nutrition: Walk before you run. It constantly amazes me how clueless young athletes are about simpel eating facts. One of the reasons is that society has beome distant from food in its natural state. Do youngsters go scrumping anymore? (that would combine the tree climbing for pulling strength and healthy eating!).
One of the best ways to get people inetrested and knowledgeable about the food they eat is to grow your own veg.
The BBC are running an excellent campaign here called Dig In. They are giving away free seed packets and tips on growing your own veg.
You don’t require a farm, and allotment or even a garden to do this. The idea is to get everyone growing some sort of food. I use old cider barrels cut in half and also tyres (free) filled with earth and compost and plant things there.
The food will then be free- useful for all of us on budgets-, fresh and seasonal. The only thing required is a bit of patience.
Why not get started now?

I had the pleasure of having James as my first s&c coach when I was at University in Plymouth. I worked with him for 3 years and learnt everything I now know about training to the best of my ability. When I first saw James I was identified as a talented rugby player but had various injury and illness problems to contend with. By the end of my time with him I had become an athlete and later received my first international cap against the U.S.A.
