Runners, what am I missing??

Carb-shaming is so last season (decade)!
Let's all just agree to love carbs, and move on with our lives.
I mean, have you seen a freshly baked loaf of bread? It's a work of art. So go ahead, grab a slice (or three), and let's give carbs the love they deserve 🥐🥐🥐

Just because I’m not running yet, doesn’t mean that I’m not moving!

Daily walks, aiming for an average of 10,000 steps each day, 4 strength sessions per week and some physio and yoga to round it all out. I’m trying to do everything o can to stay active so o can finally get back to running soon!

Full disclosure, I used to map every long run around bathroom access — just in case.

I thought i just had a “sensitive tummy” or that “runners trots” were a normal part of running.
That’s what every article said. That’s what my doctor said.
⁠
But I never knew I gut symptoms were a stress response and an immune response.
⁠
→ Fasted running (body → panic mode)
→ Fueling too late (gut forced to digest while running at threshold)
→ Restricting carbs → gut bacteria starved, inflammation rising
→ Food allergies → causing further irritation and inflammation
⁠
The problem wasn’t my gut.
The problem was that nobody ever taught me how to fuel for digestive health to feel safe during the run.
⁠
Once I started making some small but significant dietary adjustments — timing, nutrient variety and eating for my needs, I went from emergency-runner to confident-runner. But this took time, some trial and error, but long term success that has me a lot more in tune with my body and what it needs.

I know it’s never fun to talk about, but with the recent studies on runners with poor digestive health, know that I’m here and this is a big part of what I work with my clients on. Digestion is never TMI in my books!

Just a reminder…while we’re all looking at a the 2026 race calendar, just a little piece of advise and reminder to purchase that insurance with your race entry!!

Once the dust settled and I came to terms with my ankle fracture and that I would not be participating in any of the races I signed up for this year, I was thrilled to remember that I had purchased insurance for most of the races I signed up for.

I had shelled out over $600 in race entry fees and I was so relieved to get most of that back! Just remember to read the terms carefully and hopefully you don’t ever have have to make a claim.

Here’s to a healthy 2026 season!! What’s on your race calendar next year!?

Now that many of us are in the down season of running, it’s a good time to support our body’s recovery with nutrition swaps packed with all the good things that we need.

When we’re in training mode we may be eating a lot more refined carbs and processed food because our training demands it, but what about now, when things slow down and we’re not expending as much energy?

We can use food to be our ultimate recovery tool!

Sign up for my newsletter or head over to my newest blog post to get the low down on some nutritious swaps to boost your recovery.

Hello November…
Or No-vember.

A time to stop. To say no to things that drain you, so you can say yes to things that light you up.

October photo dump!
From cool, crisp, clear mornings to full downpours where you can’t help but get soaked through!
October brings in more rest, reflecting and digesting.
And let’s not forget Halloween!! 🎃

I didn’t realize I was underfueling… because I was eating “healthy.”

I thought underfueling meant barely eating. Like restriction. Fasting. Cutting meals.
⁠
But I was eating. I was eating what I thought was healthy: salads, yogurt, pasta, veggies.
⁠
Except — I was crashing mid-run. Foggy. Irritable. Skin rashes and just feeling bit of a mess. Craving sugar when I do t normally have a sweet tooth, like my body was screaming.
⁠
Turns out underfueling doesn’t always look like not eating or skipping meals.

It often looks like not eating enough of what your body actually needs to perform.
⁠
→ Not enough carbs before a run
→ Not enough total calories to support your training load
→ Too much “clean, low-calorie” food and not enough glycogen-building, energy producing foods

And the wild part? Most female runners think they’re doing everything right — when their body is quietly fighting to survive, not thrive.
⁠
If you’re training consistently but still feel off — low energy, flat progress, random cravings — or might be a sign you’re missing something in your diet.

That’s exactly what we start to pinpoint in my 1:1 Fuelled to Finish program. Let me know if you’d like to chat.
