Liz Swinton has asked Simon about his favourite food energy source whilst training and racing.
Hi Liz. This differs depending on whether I’m racing, training short or training long.
My favourite training food without question is my Mum’s homemade Christmas cake. Unfortunately this only gets baked once a year, so I make the most of it for the couple of weeks following Christmas when I’m training in Australia.
When I’m in Europe and Mum’s chrissy cake isn’t around, I prefer real food like madeleines, cakes, sandwiches etc. However, when I’m racing I stick to energy bars and gels.
Simon.
