Author Information
Kate's 'lightbulb' moment came from seeing her husband struggle in his training for the New York Marathon in 2000. Sounding like a stuck record his general miserableness was only alleviated when she came across a new concept, the Glycaemic Index, which looked at how different food releases energy at different rates. Kate voraciously devoured all the books and articles which could enlighten her and the result was the now classic 'Go Faster Food', published by Vermilion in 2009. She has since become a well-respected food for fitness writer, has run workshops for the BBC and Sky Sports, and is in-house chef for 220 Triathlon and Running Magazines. Having been constantly pestered by friends for advice on how they should feed their own active kids, Kate decided the time was right to write her latest book, 'Go Faster Food for your Active Family', which is taking her ideas and message to a much wider, and younger, audience. The feedback has been phenomenal! Championed by schools, sports organisations and charities, Kate's Go Faster approach to healthy eating has captured the imagination of children, families and schools across the UK and beyond.
