Your Ultimate Guide to Strategic Fueling

This 7-part on-demand series will teach you how to create an individualized everyday and performance nutrition plan that works for YOU and your unique body. 

​

Peak Performance is for runners, triathletes, cyclists, or anyone else regularly engaging in exercise >60 minutes. You do NOT need to be training for an event.

Feeling confused about what to eat, when, and how much as a busy, active person? Let me help you, as I've helped countless others for over a decade, fuel and perform your best while still living and enjoying your life!

 

In this course, I'll teach you how to:​

  • ​Fuel yourself adequately to support your health and fitness goals, as a human first and athlete second

  • Adjust everyday nutrition needs during different phases and seasons of training

  • Avoid or escape the cycle of injury, constant fatigue, burnout, and performance plateaus

  • Calculate your hydration needs and create a personalized hydration plan for during and outside of exercise

  • Fuel before, during, and after different types of training sessions and races

  • Train the gut and troubleshoot other GI issues, both during and outside of exercise

  • Navigate the confusing world of supplementation, both for health and performance

  • Carb load for your next event

  • Create an individualized race day fueling plan for different sports and distances

If you're not sure you need this course, does anything below resonate?

  • You're overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition information out there and don't know what to eat, when, or how much for health and sports performance

  • You're scared to eat more, especially carbs, because you're afraid you'll gain weight

  • You're sick of getting injured, feeling tired all the time, and/or not hitting your athletic goals

  • You're struggling with GI issues, during and/or outside of exercise 

  • You’ve removed many foods to feel better but you’re not sure it’s helping

  • You don’t feel like yourself but your physician keeps saying that your bloodwork looks "normal"

  • Your iron (ferritin) is low and you don't know how to fix it without chronic supplementation

  • You're confused by the supplement world and what you should take, if anything

  • You DNF'd a race because of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, or low energy

  • You're new to endurance sports and need to learn how to fuel/hydrate before, during, and after exercise

  • You're training for a big event and want a fueling and hydration plan tailored to YOU

  • You've heard about carb loading but don't know how to do it properly

  • You're a heavy and/or salty sweater and need guidance with your hydration plan

If you're still wondering if this nutrition course is for you...

Take a moment and imagine giving your body the fuel that it actually needs, rather than constantly putting nutrition on the back burner or trying to get away with the bare minimum.

​

What do you think would happen?

 

Here's what I've witnessed from working with hundreds of athletes at all levels over the past decade:

​

  • Prioritizing your nutrition will help you feel great during exercise while also improving things like energy levels, sleep, recovery, mood, gut function, and other health markers

  • ​You will likely experience fewer cravings, swings in hunger, struggles to "control yourself" around food, bouts of illness, and injuries

  • You will actually be able to think about something other than food all the time, and instead focus on living and enjoying your life

 
Sounds pretty awesome, right?

What my clients have to say...

“Claire’s realistic advice and strategies were absolutely what got me to the start line of that race healthy, fueled me to finishing in a time that I wouldn’t have believed was possible a few short months before, and helped me recover strong and start training for the next one. With her help, I have come so far in dialing in both my sports and daily nutrition, kept GI issues under control, and taken my marathon time down 36 minutes in one year, achieving my first Boston- and New York City-qualifying times. I can’t recommend working with Claire enough, and I truly believe it is what has made all the difference in my active lifestyle.”

​

-Kristina, marathon runner

"I had the pleasure of working with Claire to prepare for my first IM. She helped me focus on my daily meal plan during the months of training leading up to the race and then to dial-in my nutrition plan for race day. We experimented with different options until we came up with a plan that we thought would work best for me. I kept to the plan on race day and was able to maintain the necessary energy throughout. Thanks to Claire I had a great race and exceeded my expectations."

 

-Jennifer, triathlete

"Working with Claire has been a wonderful, enlightening experience. She has given me practical advice on how to eat to support my energy needs as an ultrarunner while optimizing body composition. More importantly, she has given me a much deeper understanding of the hang-ups in my relationship with body image and food, how these influence my physical and mental health, and how to overcome them and build a relationship with food based on overall joy and wellbeing. I could not recommend Claire with greater warmth or enthusiasm."

-Veronica, ultrarunner

Frequently Asked Questions

1. This course is for endurance athletes. How do you define that?

 

An endurance activity is anything longer than 60-90min. If you are doing this on a regular basis - say once a week or more - you will greatly benefit from what I'm teaching in this course.

​

As for athlete, I call anyone moving their body intentionally through exercise an athlete. If you don't want to define yourself as such, that's totally fine - you still need to take your fueling seriously.

​​

Note: I give many sports specific fueling examples, but mostly focus on road running, trail and ultra running, triathlon, and cycling.

 

2. Your course seems to focus mostly on performance nutrition. Do you also cover everyday nutrition?

​

Yes, I do! Everyday eating is a MASSIVE topic, so I couldn't go super in-depth while still comprehensively covering performance nutrition without this being the longest course ever. That said, everyday eating is the foundation for performance nutrition, and we must focus on that as well as the overall health of an athlete before looking at nutrition before, during and after exercise.

​

You will get a ton of information to get you started with daily nutrition goals and practical strategies:

  • Module 1 is completely focused on everyday eating

  • Module 3 covers what to eat before exercise in great detail

  • Module 4 teaches how to eat for recovery (the meal or snack right after exercise plus the rest of the day)

  • Module 6 addresses how to consume key nutrients through food to prevent and/or treat deficiency 

​

3. Will I have any access to you in this course to ask questions and get personalized advice?

​

If you purchase the course on its own, no. This is a self-paced, pre-recorded course without any live sessions or 1:1 access to me. I created this course as a way for people to work with and learn from me at an affordable rate, and that is why I chose this format.

​

If you'd like to work 1:1 with me, I am offering special services to students of this course only, including a 20-min private Q&A session and a Fueling Plan package (2 x 30min 1:1 sessions), both heavily discounted from my normal rates.  These offers are available on my Practice Better booking page.

​

I also offer Peak Performance as a hybrid course, as part of my small group coaching program. You can read more about that on my services page. 

​

4. How long is each module and are there any downloads available?

​

This course is very heavy on education. I did not set out to give you a surface level presentation on each topic! That is why this course is 8 hours long and has 17 downloads. I know, it's a lot!

​

Each module varies in length. The shortest module is around 45min and the longest one is nearly 2 hours, split into two parts. Each module has 1-4 downloads, including homework assignments or worksheets and a 3-6 page mini guide containing all the key info, visuals, guidelines and tips from the module, to help you get the most out of the course content.

 

I want you to be able to be present during each module, rather than feel pressured to take lots of notes.

​​

5. What if I only want to listen to the course, is that possible?

​

Yes! As you know, I love podcasts and I wanted to make each module available as both video and audio-only files. You can't download the modules to protect my content but you can listen to the audio files through my Teachable school.

 

Most of the audio makes sense without the visuals, as I explain most of what's on the slides, but please note that I did not record the audio content separately.

​

6. Can I listen or watch part of the course for free?

​

Yes! This podcast episode offers a free sneak peak of Module 1 - obviously you can't see my slides, but you can hear the content. Please note that I revised / lengthened Module 1 significantly after recording this episode, but this gives you an idea of the types of things I cover.

​

If you visit my Teachable school, you can also watch the first section of the Module 1 course video when you check out the course curriculum section. 

 

7. Do you have testimonials from prior clients?

​

You can read testimonials from former 1:1 clients and group presentation clients on my testimonials page.
