A Day in the Life
| MORNING | My days are usually quite busy especially because I am starting University this year. I start training in the mornings at 5am and swim until 7am. Most days I can make it home for a quick breakfast before heading off to Uni. My favourite breakfast is either a bowl of hot Uncle Toby’s oats (they are great in winter) or a bowl of Protein Plus from the Uncle Toby’s Plus range, I love all the fruity bits. Both of these keep me full and enable me to concentrate through my three-hour lectures. |

AFTERNOON |
I am starving when it comes to lunch so I’ll have one wholegrain sandwich, an Uncle Toby’s Body wise bar (it fills me up as much as the sandwich does) and UNCLE TOBYS LE SNAK or Fruit fix. I eat quite a lot of fruit and try not to have too much sugar and junk food. If I’m training so hard, it makes sense to back it up by eating well – that’s why it’s great having UNCLE TOBYS as a sponsor, they make it easy for me! After Uni I try and make a start on some study, and if I can manage it, get in a quick sleep before training. |
| EVENING | When I get home at night I am usually pretty tired. I eat dinner – my favourite is steak and ice cream – and then I might try and do some more study or just watch a little TV and read a book before going to bed. I love to sleep and it helps me recover from hard training sets. |
Go RED for Women
Cate Campbell went RED to celebrate UNCLE TOBYS Oats partnership with the Heart Foundation’s Go RED For Women Campaign. An integral part of the “Oats Red Dress”competition, Cate modeled the winning dress designed by a NSW fashion student, one of many upcoming designers invited to design a dress inspired by Oats.
2011 update:
The start of 2011 has been very encouraging for Cate. She resumed full time training in September and since then has been improving in leaps and bounds. Cate’s next competition will be the world championship trials in April, where she hopes to make the Australian team for both the 100m and 50m freestyle.
