Real Health Sports Nutrition Nutrition Coaching for Health, Sport and Performance

You can Google anything — but can you trust it?

I see too many athletes following generic or even harmful
nutrition advice online:
❌ Restricting carbs
❌ Using whole foods where it’s not appropriate
❌ Copying what Killian does

Real endurance nutrition is specific, personalised and evidence-based.

That’s exactly why I built the Race Planning Toolkit — so you can apply real sports science without needing a degree.

Small fuelling mistakes = big performance losses.

If you wait until you’re fatigued or feeling thirsty before you start to fuel, all you’re doing is making sure that you’ll hit the wall. By waiting, you use up your body’s stored energy and become reliant on ingested fuel alone, and you can never consume enough to keep up with demand.
If you don’t have a plan for keeping hydrated that includes both volume and sodium (tailored to YOUR specific sweat loss) then you will fatigue early due to dehydration and you won’t perform at your best. End of story.

Once you learn your energy, fluid, and sodium needs, racing becomes predictable.

If you’ve ever had stomach issues mid-race, you’re not broken; your gut’s just untrained.

Your stomach is a muscle. You can train it to handle more carbs and fluids without discomfort.

My Race Planning Toolkit includes a gut training protocol and a troubleshooting guide so GI issues never ruin your race again.

If racing feels harder than it should, it’s probably not your training…it’s probably your nutrition.

Most elite athletes credit their breakthroughs to dialling in their nutrition - and there’s no reason why you can’t too!

Dial in your fluids, electrolytes, energy and fuel sources, and race to your potential.

Plan, test, and race smarter - not just harder.

Interview with Simon McLean following Bigs BYU Individual World Championships 2025

From the lofty heights of the foyer of an airport hotel in Houston while waiting for our 14-hour long haul flight back to NZ, Simon McLean sits down with Hannah Presswood from Real Health Sports Nutrition to recap how Bigs BYU played out for him, the learnings from Dead Cow Gully BYU and improvements this time around, what ultimately lead to him dropping from the race, and what's next for Simon, his family, and his BYU dream.

Phil and Gemma Gore - an inspirational team!

As an ultra-runner and backyarder, you never stop looking for ways to improve. These guys (Phil and Gemma) were incredibly generous to us throughout our journey, right from helping Kim with organising all our logistics for Tennessee and letting us know what to expect at the race, to opening their tent setup to us during the race and explaining some of their systems they’ve implemented that ensure that Phil can run strong indefinitely.

While there’s only one Phil Gore and his formula won’t work for everyone, it is really refreshing that he and Gemma are willing to share their knowledge in case it helps others be better. After all, records can’t be broken individually - it always takes at least one assist!

So, a massive shout out and thank you to Team Gore for being an inspiration in more ways than one, and a huge congratulations to Phil for taking the win at Bigs BYU World Champs 2025!
