About me
Hello, I’m Charlie – a runner, Registered Dietitian and lover of travel. I believe anyone can run a marathon, I’ve transitioned from non-runner to 13 x Marathoner and Six Star Finisher. My blog champions fad-free, accessible wellbeing through fitness, nutrition and living life to the full.
A no-nonsense approach to eating for runners and athletes of all levels. An essential companion for those trying to fuel right; before, during and after their runs to improve performance and increase energy levels!
