  The No-Tracking Plate Method Every Busy Player Needs

  Aug 20, 202624 min

  This week I'm talking you through the easiest way I know to manage your calorie intake and structure your plate without ever opening a tracking app. Life has been full on for me lately, decorating, hormones, the usual chaos, and it reminded me how quickly nutrition slips down the priority list when things get busy. So I've broken down exactly how I want you thinking about your plate: protein first, plants and fibre for half your plate, a smart carb source, and fats done properly. I'll give you the practical tools I use with my own clients, from palm sized servings to the one measuring cup trick that saves me weighing pasta every single day. Whether you're trying to lose weight, build muscle, or just want to stop overthinking food, this episode gives you a structure for life, not just for dieting. Mentioned in this episode: my free guide to managing your plate without tracking, and the Peerless Pack, open for applications now with the next phase starting 31st August. DM me on Instagram @laurapeerlesscoaching or email nutrition@laurapeerless.co.uk for more information on either.

  Building Muscle as a Rugby Player: What the Science Actually Says

  Aug 13, 202628 min

  This week on She’s Gotta Try, I break down what it actually takes to build muscle for rugby, using a real question from inside the Peerless Pack. I cover the three things you need for hypertrophy: training stimulus, protein, and fuel, and translate the science into something you can actually do around a normal life. Plus, the Peerless Pack intake opens on 17th August ahead of a new six week programme starting 31st August.

  What to Eat Before and After Training (Without Overthinking It)

  Aug 6, 202621 min

  This week’s episode is the flip side of last week’s conversation about structuring your training week. This time it’s all about the eating around it. A Peerless Pack member asked me about meal timing for optimal performance and recovery, so I break down the basics of how your body actually uses fuel, the difference between aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, and why that matters for what and when you eat. I talk through the difference between fuelling a morning gym session and fuelling evening rugby training, share my own trial and error from this week including the big meal that went badly wrong, and cover what to do when you know you’ve missed your carbs during the day. As always, the message is simple: know your own body, test what works, and don’t let food rules take the fun out of playing. I’m also offering five free check ins this week if you want a second pair of eyes on how you’re fuelling around training, to book yours the link is here - https://calendly.com/nutrition-laurapeerless/30min

  How to Actually Structure Your Pre-Season Training Week

  Jul 29, 202619 min

  New to rugby or coming from another sport and trying to work out how to train like a rugby player? This week I’m answering the three questions I keep getting asked by new Peerless Pack members: how many rest days you actually need, whether back-to-back training days are okay, and whether you can weight train on the same day as rugby. I walk through my own pre-season week as a real example, plus how to adapt all of it to your own life instead of copying someone else’s plan.

  Operation NC1 Ready: Why I Coach Myself the Same Way I Coach You

  Jul 25, 202622 min

  We won our league. We’re going up to NC1 after 14 years in NC2. And now the real work starts. In this episode I go deep on Operation NC1 Ready, my 70 day countdown to Seaford Scarlets’ first NC1 fixture, and why I’m applying the exact same Tight 5 Method I coach my players with to my own preseason. I talk through what an optimal week looks like for me versus a baseline week, why fixed targets set you up to fail, and how building in a Plan A and a Plan B is the difference between all or nothing thinking and actually staying consistent. I also get honest about training through perimenopause symptoms, juggling two jobs and a growing business, and why this plan has to flex around real life instead of the other way around. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t know what “enough” looks like for you, this one’s for you.
