Fuelling & wellbeing

Fuel to perform

Rowing is hard on the body, and it runs on carbohydrate. This app is built to help you fuel enough for the work you do — not to eat less. There are no calorie budgets here, no weight-loss goals, and you can hide the numbers entirely and just track how well you fuelled each session.

Under-fuelling & RED-S

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) happens when you take in less energy than your training burns, for long enough that your body starts cutting back on the things it needs — recovery, bone strength, hormones, immunity, and ultimately performance.

Signs worth paying attention to:

• Splits or power drifting the wrong way despite training hard
• Recovery taking longer; niggles, stress fractures, or getting ill often
• Feeling cold, low mood, or preoccupied with food or weight
• Disrupted or missing periods

If any of that sounds familiar, it's worth a conversation — with your coach, your GP, or a registered sports dietitian.
