Sponsoring Lawerence Dallaglio’s Cycle Slam
Posted by: | Comments
I worked with Lawrence over a number of years as an England Player and also at his club Wasps. When I found out that he was doing a massive cycle ride for charity Dallaglio Cycle Slam I contacted him to see if I could help out in any way.
He's put together a team of around 200 people that are going to visit all the 6 Nations grounds over the next 4 weeks with the aim of raising over a million pounds for charity.
I met with Lawrence and updated him on some key concepts for endurance nutrition, to be fair he was pretty much on the ball already.
I produced a couple of guides for endurance nutrition that I gave access to for all the riders and have been answering any questions the members of the team have had. Keep an eye out for them I'm sure they will get some coverage on TV.
About 8 of Lawrences team are going to be doing all 4 legs of the Cycle slam and I arranged with Kinetica to supply them with Recovery Powder and Protein Powders that they are going to need on the trip.
There's quite a bit to endurance nutrition when you get into it, it's not just energy bars, gels and hydration. Stay posted for more ideas.
