Whether it’s your first marathon or your fifth, one thing is always true: nutrition can make or break your race.
It’s the difference between hitting the wall and running strong. Between digestive discomfort and feeling in control. Between finishing in survival mode … and crossing the line with a smile.
But here’s the problem: there’s a lot of advice out there - some of it conflicting, some of it not practical for busy lives, and much of it designed for elite runners with professional support teams.
That’s why I created the Marathon Nutrition Course, a 4-part series designed to help you fuel smarter, feel stronger, and run your best race yet.
Why Marathon Nutrition Matters (More Than You Think)
Most runners know they should eat well before a long run. But when it comes to fuelling consistently across the whole training block - and knowing what actually works for your body - it can quickly get confusing.
That’s where this course comes in.

Whether you’re training for a spring marathon like the London Marathon, Manchester Marathon, or Brighton Marathon, or preparing for one of the Marathon Majors such as Tokyo, Boston, Berlin, Chicago, New York, or Sydney, this course will give you the tools and confidence to create a personalised marathon fuelling plan.
