The athletes who feel good on day 3 of a stage race or a hard training camp, they aren’t just the fittest ones. They’re the best fueled ones.

I’ve been digging into the latest glycogen research and it’s genuinely changed how I think about recovery nutrition. Swipe through for the highlights.

Real talk: most athletes I work with aren’t struggling because they’re not trying to fuel.

They’re struggling because they don’t know what “enough” actually looks like for them specifically.

And that gap, between doing something and doing it well, is where performance gets left on the table.

Swipe through for 4 misconceptions that keep endurance athletes stuck. Save this one. 👀

Which of these options best fits your schedule?

If you’re unsure how to fuel in the evening, I’ve got three options for you!

No option is better than the other. ⁠
⁠
The best option is what works for your schedule and allows you to easily fuel your body well. ⁠
⁠
Many athletes get so hung up on WHAT they need to eat before and after. ⁠
⁠
Instead, I focus on teaching athletes the HOW and WHY they need to fuel. Once you understand that, then the food choices themselves get much easier. ⁠

😎 Share this post with yourself to remind yourself to go into those evening workouts with a plan!

Pre-exercise fueling can be a serious game changer.

Especially for athletes who struggle to fuel enough during training/races. The fuel before you start serves as a back-up, an insurance policy.

🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️ The moment you realize that food = energy = better performance = more fun in your sport. 🤯

Too many endurance athletes overthink their nutrition—worrying about “clean” foods, fearing carbs, or second-guessing every bite. But guess what? That spaghetti? That cookie? That’s FUEL. 🔥

Inside my 1:1 coaching program, we help athletes end the confusion and start fueling with confidence. No more bonking, no more guilt—just stronger training, better performance, and a positive relationship with food.

💬 Comment “SERVICES” and I’ll send you the full details about the 1:1 program!

What are you really training for? 👀

Yes, the satisfaction of doing hard things. Yes, to admire the muscles in our legs. Yes, for the delicious bonus of carbs!

To my fellow endurance athletes: you get it.

To the Internet food police: this is sports nutrition. And it’s funny. Go take your high horse and comment somewhere else. ✌🏽

Follow me for the corner of social media where we exercise a lot and eat fun foods guilt free.

Part 4 (and series finale!)

Yes, protein matters.
BUT.

As you dial in your protein, think leaner sources first. Nuts, nut butters, seeds, avocado, cheese, and going lighter on the cooking oils.

Love all of them, they absolutely have a place. Just be mindful of how often and how much. Portions matter more with high-fat foods than most people realize.

That wraps up the series! But honestly? We barely scratched the surface.
