If I’m personal training, I struggle out of bed at 6.30am, helped by my boyfriend, who prepares my breakfast of honey, lemon and yoghurt, followed by porridge or cereal with banana, and tea. I’ll throw on some sports kit, generally Anniluce, a chic Italian brand.

I tend to train people outside. Londoners respond better to sunshine and grass – it adds to the endorphin high (but I can do a mean circuit round the sofa, so weather is no excuse). Then I’ll come home for fruit, a protein or energy bar and a power nap for an hour before training. I’ll do an intense session of two hours, working on speed, strength or technique. Then it’s lunch: a wholemeal bagel with seeds, peanut butter, some salmon or lean meat, salad, fruit and a yoghurt.

In the afternoon, I do more personal training. I eat five times a day to keep my energy levels constant. If I’m training at the track, I don’t have evening clients, so I won’t finish until about 8pm. Then I go home for dinner – pasta, lean meat, fish, vegetables – and watch a bit of telly, then go to bed at 10pm. I sleep eight or nine hours a night – lack of sleep is related to injury and making bad food choices.

I train hard and eat wisely six days a week, then have a blow-out/ rest day – I believe in balance – when nothing is out of bounds. It usually involves a long lunch and/or dinner, shopping and socialising. On that day, breakfast is eggs benedict or croissants, lunch is Italian, steak and chips, pizza and whatever I fancy – usually cheesecake, red wine and mojitos. I go clubbing about once a month. I prefer more glamorous places such as Kensington Roof Gardens or Paper.

On days when I am doing motivational speaking, I wear dresses, skinny jeans, Louboutin heels and Prada handbags. My tops are often sleeveless, by Marc Jacobs, All Saints or Reiss, because I have trouble getting my shoulders into nice tops. I love not wearing Lycra.
