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...
