We're all thinking about improving our training and race day performance, but just how do you do it? We've all probably gone through extreme diets, bizarre warm up routines and bought expensive equipment to no real effect. But, your luck is in if you're off to the Running Show at Olympia in London.
Dr Garry Palmer will be on hand for 15-minute sessions, where you can put your questions and issues to the expert. He's the man behind Sportstest, a leading scientific coaching and testing company.
Run247 got in touch with the Doc to see what sort of things he regularly helps people with, to improve their performance.
"I'm going to be offering a Q&A. Pre-booked visitors will come to me with your issue, and I will try to give you a solution. The kind of examples I get are:
'This is how much time I have in the week, what are my ideal training sessions?
I was thinking about buying a GPS watch, but they are pretty costly, how will it help me out?
How on earth do I shift my body fat...I don’t seem to be eating anything as it is...and I just can't shift it?
These are the events I am planning to do, how do I best structure my year?'
Due to time constraints, I won't be able to test, but I can offer a coaching and nutritional consultation during the session," said Palmer.
