Ultra Ready Nutrition Course
Fuel The Distance
Three live online sessions to help you fuel your training, train your gut, and build a race plan that holds up when it matters most.
Ultra distances bring a different set of demands — longer time on feet, unpredictable conditions, and a much bigger margin for nutrition to go wrong. This course gives you a clear, evidence-based plan for fuelling your training and racing with confidence, delivered by a registered sports nutritionist who races ultras herself.

Training nutrition · Illness and injury
How to fuel day-to-day across an ultra training block — easy runs, back-to-back long runs, and the cumulative load that ultra training puts on your body.
What to do nutritionally when illness or injury threatens to derail your build — one of the most common and least planned-for parts of ultra training.
Session 2
Dates TBA
Fuelling the long run · Gut training · Carb loading
How to fuel your long runs and train your gut to tolerate higher carbohydrate intakes, so race day isn't the first time you've tried it.
Understand how to use caffeine properly across a long event.
Learn to carb-load properly to help you feel stronger for longer.
Session 3
Dates TBA
Tapering · Race week · Race day

Perfect race day strategy — how to tackle aid stations, manage taste fatigue over many hours, and troubleshoot the GI issues that derail so many ultra finishes.
Who this is for
This course is for anyone moving up to ultra distance, anyone who's struggled with GI issues, cramping or fatigue in long races, or anyone who simply wants a clear, evidence-based fuelling strategy they can trust — whether you're tackling your first 50k or building towards a 100-miler.
