Labor Day marks the unofficial finish line of summer. ☀️🏁

For endurance athletes, it’s also a checkpoint:

1️⃣ Training Load – Have you built the right foundation heading into fall races?

2️⃣ Fueling – Are your nutrition strategies supporting longer sessions as mileage and intensity increase?

3️⃣ Recovery – Rest days and sleep are just as important as miles logged.

If you’ve got a fall marathon, triathlon, or cross-country season on deck, now is the time to tighten up the details.

Fueling beyond the finish line™ isn’t just about race day—it’s about building the habits now that carry you into a strong season while supporting your health. 💪

Before I say more—NO, electrolytes do not directly give you energy.

Calories from protein, carbs, and fat do that. (And yes—alcohol too, though not the kind of “energy” you want for performance).

But here’s where it gets interesting ⬇️

Electrolytes do play a critical role in unlocking and delivering that energy. They regulate hydration, muscle contraction, and blood flow—helping your body actually use the energy from food.

That means if your electrolyte balance is off, your performance (and recovery) will be too.

I teamed up with fellow sports dietitians and with in this article to break down the facts vs. the hype.

Electrolytes aren’t just in sports drinks—they’re also found in foods. But for endurance athletes, electrolyte products are often an essential part of a smart fueling + hydration plan.

I’ve been reading ’s Outlive on and off, and some (or many) statements just make me say—YES!

While Dr. Attia isn’t a proclaimed functional or integrative practitioner, I love his emphasis on longevity, distinction between lifespan and healthspan, and nuance. CONTEXT IS KING.

Regarding longevity…the goal isn’t to live forever. The goal is to live longer with better quality of life.

YES — integrative thinking! 🚀

🥚 Protein spotlight: Egg whites

I recently shared my take in Health on Egg White Protein Powder—a simple product with just two ingredients: egg whites + sunflower lecithin.

No additives, fillers, or sweeteners. 🙌

Why I like it:
✅ Complete protein that’s low in carbs + calories (though I don’t actively promote ‘low carb/low calorie’ or ‘weight management’ messaging)
✅ Dairy- and gluten-free (great for allergies + intolerances)
✅ A clean option for those avoiding traditional powders with fillers

💡 What is sunflower lecithin? It’s a “blender” in food products, and it provides phospholipids + essential fatty acids that support:

🧠 Brain health
🫀 Heart health
🙂 Gut barrier + digestion
📈 Nutrient absorption

⚠️ One note: this product isn’t , so drug-tested athletes should always double-check supplement safety. (It’s labeled as a food with a Nutrition Facts label, but protein powders should be considered supplements for competitive athletes.)

👉 Do I recommend whole eggs???

YES—absolutely! Egg white protein can be a helpful boost when you need extra protein without extras.

I recently “hit a wall” with regular posting—but behind the scenes, life and business have been full speed ahead.

Here’s a media highlight in another .uk article on fueling for ultra-cycling alongside colleague, , and Matthew Mace.

🚴🏼‍♂️ Ultra-cycling isn’t just about training—it’s about fueling.

You can’t out-train under-fueling. Proper nutrition powers energy, supports mental resilience, and reduces inflammation so you recover faster.

Here are my 3 fueling keys for multi-day ultra-cycling:

1️⃣ Carbs + more → 60–90 g carbs/hr + protein + fat from whole foods + sports nutrition.

2️⃣ Mix it up → Variety of textures + flavors helps beat appetite loss + flavor fatigue + boosts nutrition quality.

3️⃣ Personalize it → Every athlete’s physiology is unique. Work with a sports dietitian to fine-tune your fueling.

It’s certainly a good idea to have a fueling and hydration plan for long-distance races—but also build in flexibility.

Fluid and energy needs are dynamic, and race does not always go as planned. 🥴

On the big day, factors such as your pace, weather, and how you feel will influence your actual needs.

💡 PRO TIP: Start by following your plan, but adjust your intake according to how you feel as the race progresses.

👉🏻 Save or share this post as a reminder for training and race day.

🚴‍♂️ 2,700 miles. 37 days.

The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR)—fueled with confidence.

Steve is a seasoned cyclist and a masters athlete. He is certainly elite in terms of this accomplishment—but not your typical elite athlete profile.

He wasn’t chasing podiums. He just wanted to complete one of the most iconic off-road endurance routes without bonking, burning out, or battling GI issues.

That’s where strategy came in. 👇🏻

💡 What we built together:

✔ Adaptable hour-by-hour hydration & fueling plan
✔ Electrolyte protocols for high-altitude + sweat loss
✔ Real-time fluid replacement monitoring
✔ Flexible food system for changing access and appetite
✔ Tools to adjust in real-time—even while riding with two nutrition-agnostic training partners 🤔

“I was able to ride with nutritional confidence.”
— Steve, 2,700 miles across the Continental Divide

👏 This is the power of intentional fueling—even if you’re not chasing a finish line.

Faith is what led me to pursue Victorem. Endurance is what sustains me.

May today be a reminder to all to remain steadfast with endurance and perseverance.

These are some of my favorite endurance Bible verses I have started to collect.
