Jane Nodder is a member of the Mornington Chasers Running Club based in Kentish Town, London and a regular marathon runner. She is also a Senior Lecturer and Clinic Tutor in nutritional therapy at the University of Westminster, London.
Jane is currently recruiting runners training for the Virgin Marathon 2010 for the research project she is completing for her MSc in Nutritional Medicine in the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences at the University of Surrey, Guildford.
Jane's research will investigate the extent to which the dietary practices of club runners participating in the Virgin London Marathon 2010, meet guidelines for the composition of diets during training for endurance running events.
The study will also identify key sources of nutritional information and knowledge amongst this group of athletes. Study participants will be involved in completing an on-line questionnaire and a 7-day Food & Training Diary during the period 22-28 March 2010.
The outputs from her work will help to inform initiatives for improving the nutritional knowledge and practices of club level marathon runners.If you are currently training for the Virgin London Marathon 2010 and would be interested in taking part in the study, please contact Jane at
