There’s no better way to ensure that your race day performance is optimal than having a sound nutrition plan that has been tried and tested in practice and refined to suit your personal requirements.

Working with Elvia for 4 weeks prior to Ironman 70.3 Danang and 6 weeks prior to Ironman Subic Bay gave me incredible confidence that my race day output would reflect the endless hours of training I had invested.

Elvia’s dietary overview and insightful nutrition tips also ensured that I recovered from each training session as quickly as possible ensuring that I was ready to roll day after day.

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of either race, smashing my previous personal bests and securing a slot to Kona.

If you are frustrated by a lack of progress, plateauing with your fitness or tired of producing lackluster results on race day I cannot recommend highly enough investing in a nutrition progamme with Elvia – I guarantee it will be the missing link to your best performance yet!

My name is Mohammed Andyhardy. I sought Elvia’s expertise after a series of lackluster performance for middle and long course triathlon races.

Her advice has helped me attain a personal best time of 5:11:16 for IM70.3 Taiwan 2018. This is an improvement of 34 minutes and I am pleased to say that she has been instrumental in cobbling together a solid race nutrition strategy.

Elvia’s advice is based on careful analysis of athlete’s prior race experience, calorie intake and thoughtful application of scientific research. Because she is herself a triathlete, I felt that her advice bears significant bearing because it comes from race experience.

She provided a detailed list of athlete tasks to rehearse the race day fueling plan in the weeks leading to race day and adjusted the plan depending on how I felt based on weekly feedback. By practising my nutrition plan in advance, it gave me confidence and took out the guess work on what to eat or do during race day.

I am impressed by Elvia’s professionalism and am looking forward to working with her again to fine tune my nutrition and recovery strategy.

Many people say :‘Nutrition will make or break your race.’

As I am a newbie in the world of triathlon, I did not place much emphasis on the above and have to admit that improving fitness and adhering tonthe training regime were my priorities; definitely more so than focusing on nutrition. It has been frustrating as my race results were hovering around the similar timings with no major breakthroughs. I believed I can deliver more. And it was at the recent races, Challenge Iskandar Puteria 70.3 and Ironman Western Australia, that I started working on my nutrition with Elvia’s help.

Previously prior to Elvia’s help, nutrition to me is simply: drink when thirsty and eat when hungry. Electrolytes replacements are only a must when encountering cramps or heat intolerance. Through Elvia’s meticulous planning and counting of carbs (down to every singular gram/hour), she has completely re-educated me on the importance of nutrition. She has taken the ‘iffy-ness’ of thinking about when/what to consume away from the complexity of racing, so that I can continuously focus on performance at the races.

With her encouragement and tweaking of the nutrition planning during race preparation stage, I manage to achieve a PB at the recent 70.3 race and a pretty satisfactory first-time completion of an Ironman mentioned above. Happy to inform that , while no races are easy tasks, I completely enjoyed both races too (and with no gut or cramping issues!)

Thank you Elvia, and I hope to be able to work further with you to hone in on my nutritional requirements.
