You stay in such great shape, and I understand you're obviously exercising a lot, but can you give me an idea of what kind of diet you eat? Is it plant based?

[@MooSurfer]

Ha thank you!! I actually eat pretty much anything - an omnivore. Before these competitions I was being strict with my diet, controlling calories whilst trying to eat a lot of protein. We need more protein as we age and also for exercise - but getting enough whilst not overloading calories is more difficult. I eat things like oats, greek yoghurt, chicken, eggs etc to try and keep up those calories. Fibre is also really important, so I try to get lots of vegetables. But once I'm at a competition - diet goes out of the window. I just eat as much as I can to maintain energy on these long days.

​@@MooSurferit's very difficult to get Darren past a McDonald's without him going in! He lives his junk food!

[@MooSurfer]

@@MrMoyesboy Hey you!!! Stop giving away all the secrets of how I stay in shape!

[@YouLoveMrFriendly]

@@MooSurfer That's very helpful, thanks!

Good to see you back in the air, we to have had a drought in flying which is hopefully about to end. Loved the flight, the comp is just a distraction from that 😎👍

[@MooSurfer]

That IS the best way of looking at it, though it's hard to do that.

Another gripping adventure - many thanks Darren and a big hats off to you

[@MooSurfer]

My pleasure!

I’m loving every moment of your flights Darren. The narration in flight is priceless. Could do with more volume from the vario as it’s a real education on how you read and map out the thermal. It’s been a while since I’ve flown and I must say what you are doing is very inspiring. Well done Darren!

[@MooSurfer]

Sorry - the vario is already on full volume! But thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! 🙂
