Fuel to achieve your goals!
Have you been feeling lost when it comes to fueling for performance? You're not alone! All of the runners I have worked with have struggled to navigate the confusing nutrition information they get from coaches, teammates, and social media to figure out what it means for them.
​
The truth is–there is no one size fits all approach to fueling. What works for your teammate or an athlete on TikTok might not work for you, and that's where my group programs comes in! If you want to learn what proper fueling means for YOU and how to make it happen without overcomplicating things, you've come to the right place.
​
​
The story behind the programs...
Several times in my running career, I have struggled with low iron, constant fatigue and soreness, always getting sick and injured, and feeling frustrated that despite all of my hard work, I wasn't making the progress I wanted to be. I also felt confused by all of the conflicting nutrition information out there, and instead of figuring out what worked best for me, I tried doing what my teammates, friends, and other athletes were doing.
​
When this didn't work, I began working with a dietitian in college who taught me how to fuel for performance and most importantly, fuel specifically for my own needs. I stayed healthy, got stronger, and ended up taking a full minute off of my 1500 time and almost 3 minutes off of my 5k time. I made NCAA's where I became an All-American. I was amazed, but also frustrated that I didn't know this information earlier. So, I became a dietitian to help other athletes like you learn from my mistakes.
​
Using my nutrition knowledge, I found an approach to fueling that worked for ME, allowing me to stay healthy, train consistently, and achieve things in this sport that were beyond my wildest dreams, including competing in 7 US championships and the Olympic Trials.
​I personally have found so much value in the information I share in my programs, and I created them to help you navigate common challenges and misconceptions when it comes to fueling for performance. If you're interested in learning more, check out what programs I have to offer below!
Fueling Forward Boot Camp
This group coaching program was created with high school Maddie in mind. As a high school runner, I didn't know that getting blood work at least once per year was important, that skipping breakfast and not eating between lunch and practice wasn't helping me perform, or how to approach fueling for race day. I address all of these topics and more in my high school runner focused boot camp series!

Tools to Fuel
My goal with my group programs is to help you learn about different aspects of nutrition for performance so you can feel confident and empowered in your fueling choices. Together, we will:
Build Confidence
There is SO much information out there when it comes to nutrition that it can be hard to know what's right. I'll walk you through everything you need to know, break down common nutrition myths, and help you build personalized plans that are right for YOU so you don't have to keep guessing.
Improve Relationship with Food
You have to eat multiple times a day every day for the rest of your life. It may as well be an enjoyable and stress free experience! Learn how to avoid restriction and incorporate all the foods you love without fear or guilt.
Create sustainable habits
Proper fueling might seem complicated or like a lot of work, but it doesn't have to be! Together, we'll break it down into manageable steps so you can create a healthy relationship with food and a sustainable approach to fueling that will last a lifetime.

FAQ: Boot Camp Series
How does it work?
Step 1: Sign up for the session that works best for your schedule
Step 2: Fill out the form you're sent after sign up. This will include an availability section, so I can determine the best day/time for everyone to meet.
Step 3: Get your blood work done using the order that will be sent to you after your form has been filled out.
Step 4: Attend the weekly Zoom calls using the Zoom link that will be sent out to you prior to each session!
I'm worried that a group program will be too intimidating for me to ask questions, or I'll feel lost in a huge group. Does this happen often?
I totally understand these concerns and want to create a safe space for athletes to learn, share experiences, and connect. That's why I will be limiting the group coaching programs to 10 athletes total. This will help to make sure you still feel like you're getting the support you need, while still making it fun.
How do I get my blood work done? Is this included in the program?
All athletes will receive a blood work order that you can use to get your blood drawn at a LabCorp near you at your earliest convenience. The cost of the blood work is included in the program. Note that this is not available for any athletes located in NY state.
I'm injured and not able to run right now, can I still gain something from this program?
Absolutely! I actually find that time away from running is a great opportunity to improve fueling because you have more time on your hands, and it will also help maximize your recovery and reduce risk of re-injury once you get back into running.
What can I expect from the program?
High school runners who have worked with me have found:
-
More confidence in their fueling choices and less stress around food overall
-
A better understanding of how to navigate confusing nutrition information
-
Improved energy, mood, sleep, and performance
-
Less soreness and decrease in injuries
-
An improved ability to hit splits in workouts and run PR's in races
-
An approach to fueling that feels easy, sustainable, and something they can do long term
When will the Zoom sessions be held?
When you register for the boot camp series, you will receive a form that includes an availability section. Once I have everyone's availability, I will send out the official day and time for all meetings. If you can't attend all of the sessions, that's ok! Each session will be recorded so you can watch it later, and you can attend office hours with any questions.
How often do we meet? What if I can't make it to all of the sessions?
We will meet once per week over Zoom for 45 minutes. All sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the community page, so if you can't attend all of the sessions that's ok, you will still be able to get the information! I will also hold office hours once per week, so you can sign up for a time to meet 1:1 to get any questions answered.
When does the program start? When does it make the most sense for me to join?
There are 2 sessions held in the summer and 2 sessions held in the winter to help prepare you for fall xc or spring track. The summer sessions are held in June and July, and the winter sessions are held in January and February. Both sessions will be the same material, so it's best to choose the session with the most dates you'll be able to attend.
Will I still have access to the materials after the program ends?
Yes! You will receive downloadable PDF's and session recordings that you will be able to keep following the completion of the program.
How much does the program cost?
The program is a one time cost of $399, and will include the cost of your blood work order so there will be no additional fees. If you are an athlete in NY, NJ or RI I am unable to order blood work for you and that would incur additional costs if you choose to pursue lab work.
Do we communicate between sessions?
You will have access to a community page with a chat feature where you can ask unlimited questions. I will also hold weekly office hours during which you can sign up for a 10 minute slot to get any questions you have answered.
