Sports News: Motorcycle racer feels the benefits

Concentration and endurance are two very important factors in Motor sport, Motorcycle Rating being no exception. Twenty two year old RAF Aircraft Technician Tom Gazzard is competing in the British Superstock 600 Championship for 2008. He explains below about how Medical Nutritionist, Naomi Beinart’s advice has benefited him.

“I’ve been racing now for 4 years and achieving some excellent results along the way. Fitness has always been my main training goal when im not riding, and I actively cycle, run, and do other aerobic exercises regularly throughout the week. However I have never really taken my diet as seriously as I should, and realised that I would not be able to see the rewards of my training until I dealt quite seriously with my diet and lifestyle. I always used to think that the more effort I put in at the gym, then the fitter I would be. This has proven to be not entirely true, and as a result I have not felt on top of my game.

I met Naomi in Spain whilst testing my new bikes in March 2008 Fortunately for me I was in the garage next to her so we were able to share data about riding and more importantly for me Nutrition. After I returned from Spain she very kindly agreed to design a dietary and lifestyle plan for me to follow in order to help me maximise my health and fitness potential.

Supplements were also something she advised me on. This included the Emergen C Energy Boosters which have been very effective. Not only do they provide a boost of energy initially, they also last for several hours. I have previously tried sugary sports drinks such as Lucozade and Iso, but I found that they made me very shaky and drowsy as soon as the energy boost wore off.

Also included in the supplements list was a good quality Whey Protein, Multivitamin and mineral tablets and Omega 3,6 and 9 capsules. She explained that supplements are not the absolute answer to maintaining the diet she set out for me, but it will ensure that I am getting all the right ingredients in my everyday diet when certain foods are not available.

So overall I have found that the help ‘BeinART Nutrition’ has provided me with, will allow me to excel in my physical and also mental fitness preparation, both on and off the track.

Tom Gazzard is racing for Aquatherm Racing in this year’s newly established Superstock 600 Championship. The series will be run along side the British Superbikes Championship, making it an ideal shop window for the Superbikes sector. Look out for Tom at the track this year running the no. 87 plate on board his Suzuki GSXR600.
