THE INTERVIEW MARCH 2014
Describe your lifestyle:
Describe your diet in a few words:
I would describe my diet as being healthy with one “treat” day a week, normally a Sunday. When I am not training or have my head in the books (thesis time!!)
How do you relax?
I like to listen to music, socialize with friends and play the guitar.
How well do you sleep & for how long?
I normally aim for eight hours of sleep a night which sometimes can be tough especially when I have an early start in college which means I have to be up at around quarter to seven.

"I like to prepare my food the night before and I feel most of the lads on the team do also, to make sure we are eating the right foods, and taking in the right amounts. "
Describe your training:
I like to prepare my food the night before and I feel most of the lads on the team do also, to make sure we are eating the right foods, and taking in the right amounts.
On a typical week I train three nights a week with the team, three nights doing gym work and one day off.
It’s a bit different at the moment as I'm out injured so its five nights in the gym.

What do you eat in a typical day?
Breakfast:
For me it’s the hardest meal to get into me during the day as I have to be up fairly early for college.
It normally consists of three boiled eggs on homemade brown bread, with a piece of fruit and tea.
I have finally come around to porridge too, with a hint of honey!

Eoin's lunch prep
Lunch:
Lunches normally consist of some form of salad with a meat or fish.
I'm a big tuna lover so that’s never too far away from the lunch box!! I try to get it prepared the night before so I don’t snack on lower quality foods in college.
I also normally have a Nature Valley bar (peanut) and a protein shake to wash it all down.
I try to stay clear of too many carbs except before training and in peak season.
