Nutrition Coaching for Health, Sport and Performance

06/01/2026

A FEW SPOTS LEFT - now open to and entrants! We start next week, so just a few more days to lock this in.

Anyone can suffer through training, but training SMART is where performance actually changes.

BREAKING LIMITS is about teaching you how to fuel, hydrate, pace, and problem-solve so your training adaptations actually stick and your race plan doesn’t unravel at 3am when things get spicy.

This is how you build durability.
This is how you gain confidence.
This is how you stop relying on luck on race day.

A sensible way to challenge yourself, with the support to back it up.

🎙️ Podcast drop

I had a great chat with Chris and Char from CMF Running on the NZ Nomad Runner Podcast recently — and yep, we went straight to the issue most runners don’t want to admit!

👉 Most runners are underfuelled… and paying for it.

We unpack:
• Why most runners are underfuelled and how low energy availability shows up
• How to fuel peak training properly (more carbs, better timing, and recovery nutrition that actually drives adaptation)
• Race-day fuelling and hydration: carbs per hour, fluid needs, sodium, and gut training
• How to support performance without fear of weight gain — shifting the focus from “race weight” to energy, resilience, and sustainability

If you’re racing soon, training hard, or feeling flat — this one’s worth a listen on your next run!

Mindset, Gear, Support Crew, Tent Set Up - these are all often overlooked during training for a BYU.

Breaking Limits: BYU High Performance Programme pulls together all of the things you need to succeed and break through your limits at your next BYU, like has never been done before.

Get amongst it! We kick off for the Carousel on 13th Jan. Link in bio or DM for more info!

NUTRITION PERIODISATION

Most athletes eat the same way all year round. But, as your training changes, your nutrition must change too.

Think in phases:
FOUNDATION = body composition tweaks, variety, experimenting
PEAK = higher-carb, optimal energy availability, gut training, performance

If you’re trying to lose weight or cut carbs in the final 8–12 weeks before a race or event, you’re ruining your own performance ☹️

Give your body what it needs, when it needs it.

As part of the .sports_nutrition x partnership, all CMF 1:1 COACHED RUNNERS and CMF RUN CLUB members get 10% off Real Health Sports Nutrition services.

If you want to feel the difference that aligned fuelling makes, get support from someone who knows endurance nutrition inside out! Drop us a DM.... together we’ve got you covered 🤙

EAT. PERFORM. RECOVER.

Breaking Limits isn’t just about one event - it’s about setting yourself up as a better endurance athlete for the long-term.

Yes, this programme prepares you to go deep at your next BYU, but the bigger win is what you learn along the way:
How to fuel and recover from your training properly.
How to hydrate and manage sodium.
How to pace, strengthen, and problem-solve.

These are systems and skills you’ll use for years, not just for one race.

It’s a short-term programme with a long-term payoff.

We kick off for the Carousel on 13th January! Link in bio or DM for more details.

Most programmes zoom in on one piece of the puzzle.
One plan. One angle. One “fix”.

BREAKING LIMITS doesn’t do that.

It covers everything that actually matters when you’re aiming big at a BYU — especially the stuff that bites after midnight.

Nutrition. Hydration. Sodium.
Sweat rate. Gut training.
Strength. Running. Pacing.
Overnight strategy. Gear. Logistics.
Crew. Mindset.

All the pillars.
All the decisions.
None of the guesswork.

That’s why it’s great value — not because it’s cheap, but because nothing important is left out.

If you’re serious about showing up fuelled, prepared, and still moving when it counts…this is the most complete support you’ll get.

New article out now!

Hot weather ≠ just a bit more sweat - it’s a whole different physiological ball game!

When it’s hot:
• More blood is sent to the skin to cool you down, so your gut works less and fuelling becomes harder.
• Sweat losses increase and quickly add up, and trying to replace everything you lose just isn’t realistic.
• Sodium only helps if it’s taken with enough fluid — salt on its own can cause major problems.
• A pace that feels fine in cool weather is punishing in the heat.

The goal in the heat isn’t perfect hydration.
It’s managing dehydration, protecting your gut, and adjusting intensity so you don’t cook yourself.

In this month's article, I’ve broken down what actually happens in your body in the heat, how to fuel and hydrate safely and effectively, and other strategies for managing yourself in the summer heat.

👉 Read it before your next hot long run or race. Your gut (and kidneys) will thank you!

Breaking Limits isn’t just about getting through one BYU.
It’s about setting yourself up as a better endurance athlete for the long-term.

Yes, this programme prepares you for 100km, 24 laps, or beyond at Carousel — but the bigger win is what you learn along the way.
How to fuel properly.
How to hydrate and manage sodium.
How to pace, strengthen, recover, and problem-solve when things get hard.

These are systems and skills you’ll use for years, not just one race.

A short-term programme with long-term payoff.

Breaking Limits: BYU High-Performance Programme was developed because BYUs don’t reward luck — they reward runners who control the controllables.

At a Backyard Ultra, everything has to line up: nutrition, hydration, fitness, strength, mindset, gear, and logistics.

Until now, there hasn’t been a single place to put all of that together. You can get a running coach or a running plan, see a PT/strength and conditioning coach, work with a nutritionist, engage a mindset coach — but it’s disjointed.

Breaking Limits brings it all into one cohesive programme, with everyone working toward the same goal at the same time, so nothing is missing on race day.

13/12/2025

It’s official — Breaking Limits: BYU High-Performance Programme is now open for Carousel 2026 runners wanting to go deep.

If you’re aiming for 100kms, 24 laps, or beyond, this is your chance to prepare with a clear plan, a supportive team, and systems that actually work when the wheels get wobbly.

This 12-week programme is built to help you feel prepared, not panicked.
Fuel, fluid, sodium, pacing, overnight strategy, gear, crew — all the stuff that decides who stays in the game after midnight.

If you want to train smarter (not harder), build durability, and head into April with confidence, this is for you.

Friendly. Supportive. BYU-specific.
Only 7 spots remaining.
Doors close 13 January.
We kick off that week.

Let’s break your limits — and have fun doing it!

11/12/2025
