Transcript

00:00 I'm Alan Murchison.

00:04 Cycling is one of my two great passions in life.

00:07 The other is food.

00:08 Any cake left for me?

00:09 I spent the best part of 30 years working in Michelin star kitchens.

00:13 Thank you Alan.

00:14 Now using my passion and knowledge, I help cyclists with their nutritional plans.

00:19 Nutrition by itself can be very boring.

00:22 It's not just about macronutrients.

00:24 You're always thinking about flavour first.

00:25 And I'm going to show you that what you eat...

00:28 It's just as important as how you train.

00:38 I've enlisted three amateur riders, who over an eight week training block will spot their

00:42 current diet...

00:43 Am I nervous?

00:44 Yeah, I'm really nervous.

00:46 For one of my bespoke nutritional plans.

00:48 He's got me on a smoothie again.

00:50 It's not Weight Watchers Alan.

00:53 Fiona, Pete and Elliot.

00:55 Honestly, they are so different.

00:57 Elliot, he wants to train to be a doctor and also be a professional cyclist.

01:01 I'm on my bike pretty much every day.

01:03 Man, proper sport is really, really tough.

01:06 I am super competitive.

01:08 Man, just like Amelia.

01:11 Let's go harder.

01:13 Too competitive I think, probably most to say.

01:17 Pete, he's always making excuses for himself.

01:19 I'm busy with work and everything.

01:21 I can individually tailor their nutritional plans to sit alongside their training.

01:26 The main criteria for me is making sure that your training load and your food load are

01:30 evenly matched.

01:32 I'm going to show you that you get the best out of your body...

01:35 Remember, every second counts.

01:36 Come on, push.

01:37 When you simply improve what you put into it.

01:40 It's been real insight.

01:42 I'm going to show you that you get the best out of your body...
