4 common nutrition mistakes I see as an endurance coach and sports nutritionist that are holding you back as an endurance athlete:

“I wasn’t hungry during my long run, so I didn’t fuel as planned.”

“I ate before training, so I didn’t need to fuel during.”

“I felt like I had enough energy, so I didn’t take in as much carbohydrate as recommended.”

“My hydration bottles are only so big, so I couldn’t follow the hydration plan.”

I hear these all the time from athletes training for everything from sprints to half marathons to Ironman.

When you’re in-season (HINT we're there now), your nutrition needs to support the entire week of training, not just the workout you’re in. Skipping fuel or hydration doesn’t just impact that session, it carries into the next one.

And remember, you’re not just training your body, you’re training your gut. Long workouts are your opportunity to practice fuelling and hydration so race day feels smooth, not stressful.

Improve your performance by levelling up your fuelling and hydration habits.
