Alan's food is simple, yet tasty and powerful. He's been a key
component for my training and racing. -- Alex Dowsett, World Tour
rider, former World Hour Record Holder and national champion

gains" that British Cycling is so famous for, but proper nutrition
is a huge gain. -- Katie Archibald, multiple world and Olympic gold
medallist
Alan Murchison has been pivotal in my transformation from knocking
around for Top 10s at national level events to winning World
Cups... A game changer. -- Dan Bigham, GB track cyclist and

As an athlete your priorities are; nutritional value, ease of
cooking and taste. It takes real creativity, passion and a true
understanding of the athletes needs to combine all these
priorities, you don't have to compromise when you follow Alan's
recipes. -- Callum Skinner, Olympic gold medallist
Working with Alan has completely changed the way I think about food
and opened my eyes to new ideas. Ingredients I would have
previously discarded as boring now feature regularly in a balanced
diet. Eating well no longer feels like a challenge or a sacrifice.

medallist
Alan's unique dual background as a world-class chef as well as a
high-performance athlete, means he has an extraordinarily useful
empathy to understand and relate to the specific nutritional needs
of the sports performer... I would not hesitate to recommend this
book to any athlete and of any ambition. -- Dr Jamie Pringle,
leading sports scientist
Al genuinely wants to change the way athletes prepare the very food
that fuels their performance, and this book is a massive leap in
