Today, Jenni sits down with a man who lives at the crossroads of elite performance + real life food.

Jonny Marsh is the private chef trusted by some of the biggest names in football - Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Kyle Walker, İlkay Gündoğan, Luke Shaw… the list goes on.

And Jonny is one of us - he’s a runner.

He genuinely believes nothing hits the dopamine switch like going for a run - and cooking for these world-class players has shown him first hand how food drives performance, mood, recovery and consistency.

Jonny’s first ever cookbook THE PRIVATE CHEF is out 14 November 2025 - and he’s made it for normal humans. 80 recipes. Adaptable. Realistic. Good for busy weeks. Good for training blocks. Good for fuelling a life that you actually enjoy.

Whether you’re marathon prepping, couch-to-5k-ing, or just running for headspace - this one is for you.
