UTA 100km Success 

Thanks a lot Tamara. I followed your advice in the days leading up to the race and felt very good at the start. During the race I followed the overall nutrition plan — at most checkpoints I had one or two cups of noodles, Nutella bread, cheese toast, etc. I mostly relied on Naak (provided by the event), ate a couple of bars, and had a few Naak gels — probably around 25 in total.

I never really felt low on energy and wasn’t very tired except around the 80–90 km mark. I had a 5-minute nap at the 90 km checkpoint and then was good to go again.

Thanks again for your plan — it made me feel very confident and full of energy throughout.

Great Wall of China half marathon success 

Well, I did it. I conquered the Great Walk of China half marathon!

Nailed my nutrition and felt strong the entire way. I finished in 3:29:57. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I was capable of finishing under 4hrs, let alone sub-3:30!! I am absolutely stoked.

It was tough but I loved every single minute of it. The privilege of being on the Wall, the excitement of the locals cheering, and pushing myself to achieve my dream.

Thank you for all your help in the lead up. It made all the difference.

UTA 100km Success for Polly 

Thank you!!!!!

Super happy, had a few leg niggles that slowed me down a bit which was a bit frustrating as I felt so good otherwise.
The nutrition was all really good, apart from struggled to get the 90 in from 60km, so just dropped it to 75 per hour and then tried to make up for by eating quite a bit at the fairmont  and QVH.
Thank you so much for your guidance you’ve been amazing!!

Marathon Success

Its been just over 12 months since we spoke and I’m overdue to send you a note of HUGE THANKS for the guidance you gave me. I was really struggling with nutrition in long run events and your clarity, direction and information was a game-changer for me.

I wanted to give you this positive feedback so you know the positive impact you are making. In the last 12 months in 2025, I have completed 3 marathons, and 1 ultra-trail marathon too… its been quite a year and in each of these events, I finished in great times, feeling strong and was able to stick to nutrition and hydration plans through-out. 

So a belated but sincere thanks and wishing you well over the upcoming holiday period.

Thank you for the race plan. It was spot on!!
I stuck to eating every hour and drinking plenty of tailwind and water. I even had a couple of other runners comment when I pulled my first cheese and tomato toastie out only 45 minutes into the run stating are you eating already! 😂
Everything seemed to go down well and I stayed hydrated. I had a couple of cups of coke before going up and down the big climb at the end just to get a bit of a sugar hit.
During and after the race I felt great which is what I was hoping for. I was so sick for days after Tarawera and this is what I was hoping to improve on which I did. I didn’t have any nausea or sickness and was able to enjoy a couple of beers and pizzas after the race.
So a big thank you to you for sharing your knowledge. It made a massive difference. With every race we keep learning and getting better and I love it.

3 Day Road Ride

I’ve done my 3 day TDC Vic Disco bike ride … and I just wanted to say a big thank you for your sound nutritional advice – it worked really well and I rocked it 🙂  The Carb/electrolyte powder was great and I aimed for that 40gms of carb hour via my bottle/food/carb jelly thing y’s !! I was even able to share my products with a fellow rider who was really struggling – she reckons she would have quit had it not been for that extra nutritional support. Thanks again, Cheryl.

Thanks Tamara – you were a big part of it all for me. I followed our plan to the letter and felt so much better at the end than previous races. I did lean more on the banana than the potatoes or sandwiches than I expected…mainly due to ease of packaging!!

Thanks again for all your help and advice,

Joanna
