Multi Day Race

Wow was it epic! Thank goodness we packed all that extra food – I needed it because I was out there for 10-13 hours on the first 2 days. Day 3 I was pretty quick. The LONG day was well….long…and it rained all day. The final day I ran the 15km to the end, and my husband was there (plus my Dad and brother as a surprise). The jar of peanut butter was a hit with my tent mates and was a great snack when I was too tired to rummage for anything else in my pack.

I think the nutrition side worked really really well. At gear check, they laughed coz I had so much food and they (almost) convinced me to take some out. But ended up pretty much on target.

Thank you so much for your help and tips along the way. Seriously made the whole crazy thing manageable. Those chemist grade jelly beans were a GOD SEND after 15 hours in the pouring rain. Could barely get them out with freezing hands and wet gloves on. And had them as “dinner” in my sleeping bag when I made it in to camp.

Ultra Trail Australia (UTA) Clients :

Thank you so much, It was great to see you there and the nutrition plan worked so well.
I will highly recommend you to anyone in the future and look forward to come and see you again for other events. Anna

I loved, loved, loved the day. My family were the best, weather was stunning, trails were dry, no rolled ankles or falls. I had ZERO sleep (literally did not close my eyes) but body went into adrenaline mode so it was fine. Nutrition was good and I had energy.   I cannot look at a peanut butter & jam sandwich ever again and I’m packing away all nutrition so I can’t see it.  Feet are not good, but rest of body feels great! I can’t thank you enough. It was the best day ever and without you I would have no clue what to eat, when to eat and how to do it practically. Karin

Honestly the main reason that I crossed the finish line with a smile and energy in my legs was because of your guidance and knowledge. Thank you with all of my heart!! I felt full of energy for the entire race. Olivia

I did the Cradle Mountain Run last weekend. Awesome. Brilliant scenery. And the nutrition and water worked out to plan. I ate and drank what you had in the plan and it worked like a treat. I didn’t get sick at all, and was eating quite nicely even towards the end.

running nutrition
I’m terms of nutrition, I followed the guidelines for carbohydrates, water and sodium intake and I was really happy with the day, I haven’t felt that great on a run before. Everything worked well, came together perfectly.
Thanks heaps for your help and advice!! Few pics for you attached to see how happy I was!! 🙂

Testimonials

Thanks very much for your help. It was brilliant. I followed your nutrition plan precisely and it worked great. Knowing that I had to get through X and of water and Y amount of food between check points worked really well compared to what I used to do. On previous 100km events I didn’t eat or drink as much and that must have caused many of the problems. It was invaluable having your nutrition plan as I didn’t have to think about it, I just took my check point bag food and then ensured I drunk it and ate it before the next check point. You plan also helped me stay in a positive mindset as I knew I could just trust the plan and it would work.

Over the past year she has guided me personally on my nutrition helping me achieve PB’S regularly and is currently helping me get through this time of chronic illness. She has helped clients lose weight, manage food intolerances and help prepare clients for triathlons, marathons, 50 and 100km running races. Her approach is simple yet effective. There are no magic cures, just solid advice that is tried and tested. I have the confidence to send any client to her knowing they will be looked after by a true professional in her field.

Ultra running nutrition

I met Tamara on an Ultra Trail Australia training run in February. Based on some great conversations with her that day and positive recommendations from other runners, I organised a first consultation in March. Since then Tamara’s guidance on the right nutrition to suit me has made a huge impact on both my daily energy levels and my running stamina. The combination of a more consistent training plan with Tamara’s everyday and race day nutrition plans helped me knock nearly an hour off my 2015 UTA50km race time! Tamara’s recipes and general advice have been great for both me and my family – including the three young fussy eaters – so I would thoroughly recommend a visit.
