Fuel Your Fastest Running E-Course
My worst race ever might have been a mess of under-fueling, hydration issues, GI discomfort, and a significant slowdown in the second half of the race. However, it did teach me one incredibly valuable lesson: proper nutrition and hydration in training and on race day make a huge difference.
In fact, one of the biggest changes I made between my first marathon and my second marathon – in which I took 18 minutes off my finish time and ran a BQ – was figuring out how to train my gut, properly fuel on race day, and hydrate well.
As a running coach, I see many runners who face similar struggles: bonking, GI distress, under-fueling, and more. It doesn’t help that there are so many sports nutrition products to consider and so many different trends, such as glycogen depletion runs or beet juice. How do know what will help you run your fastest race and what will render little benefits for all the effort?
Thankfully, you don’t have to figure all the aspects of fueling and hydration out on your own. On April 16, I am launching the first iteration of my new e-course, Fuel Your Fastest Running! The four-week course costs $59 and includes twice-per-week video/email lessons and an optional individualized call at the end of the four weeks. Spots are limited and already filling up, so sign up soon if you are interested!
This course will cover topics such as how to use whole foods instead of gels on your runs, gut training to avoid GI distress, electrolytes and hydration, fueling to avoid hitting the wall, race day supplements such as beet juice and caffeine, and nutrition for recovery. The information is based on the most current research in sports nutrition, supplemented by experience in running long distances and coaching long distance runners.
If you are tired of bonking or dealing with GI problems, or you want to finally nail your fueling so you can achieve your full potential in the marathon or half marathon, this course is for you!
