Ambassador Profile: Alana McInerney
Learn more about UL Bohemian RFC player and Whole Supp ambassador Alana McInerney in these quick fire questions.
Alana, when did you get started in your rugby?
A friend introduced me to it!
And what challenges have you faced so far?
Trying to balance training 6 or 7 days a week with maintaining my college degree in Industrial Biochemistry. It takes a lot of planning an organising to make sure I have enough food before training and still block time to do college work.
Missing the nights with college friends and events has also been challenging. I just have to remind myself that there is a bigger picture and that the sacrifices will be worth it!
Finally, injury wise, I've done ligaments in my left ankle and a grade 2 AC joint. Making sure I rehab properly is key.
What's kept you motivated through that?
My teammates, my family, my drive to win and my enjoyment of rugby.

What does a typical day look like?
Gym at 6:30, then college, then training later in the evening.
How important has nutrition been in fuelling you through that routine?
Extremely important. I need to make sure I maintain and gain muscle mass to success in my sport.
What does your nutrition plan look like?
I just make sure I increase my protein intake post training and increase my carb intake before training and matches, to ensure I maintain muscle mass and have enough energy to keep going.

Where does Whole Supp fit in?
I've been taking it for less than a month, but take it religiously before early morning gym sessions to after late night training.
I love that it's given me the ability to have a meal full of all the nutrition I need - I don't spend time worrying if I'm missing any particular macros anymore.
It really gives me all the goodness that I need!
