I spent 18 weeks training for my marathon, and I didn’t want to sabotage all that hard work by not having my nutrition dialed in for race week, race morning, and during the race itself! Emily helped me feel so confident that my fueling was perfect and that I was ready! She guided me through exactly how much I needed and when. She is truly SO SMART and she also shared great tips and rules of thumb that I'll carry with me for life. Emily was personable, thoughtful, and so much fun to work with - she gets it and is so flexible in making sure everything works for you. I learned so much from her, and I honestly can’t imagine running a race I trained so hard for without her guidance. She’s the difference between hoping you’ll do well and knowing you’ll do great! I’d definitely recommend her to others!!

I wasn’t sure how to fuel properly for the late start time at the Boston marathon. I realized it would be super beneficial to have some help to figure out the best way to plan out pre race fuel, without any guessing games on what could or couldn’t work! I have followed Emily for quite some time now and consider her a “friend” even though I’ve yet to meet her in person, she is incredibly sweet and shares such informational posts, so I knew she would be the right person for the job. Emily asked me plenty of questions about my typical fueling strategies and explained why it would be great to continue doing some things and maybe looking into testing other things in my future training cycles. From there, she was able to fill in the blanks on what already works, and what I could add to make sure I was properly fueled leading up to the start line. For reference, I woke up at 5am and my start time wasn’t until 10:50!! I am happy to say I felt this fuel plan that we came up with was PERFECT for me and I felt confident about it leading up to race day - there are already so many stressors around running a marathon, so not having this to worry about felt really good. I was easily able to execute our fuel plan and made it to the start feeling fresh, energized, and ready. I cannot recommend working with Emily enough, it is clear she cares deeply about her clients and I love that she has a very individualized approach. Once I start training again I will definitely be booking with Emily to assist in my intra run fueling!! She is the best!

I reached out to Emily for help with my fueling plan three weeks before the London Marathon. I was nervous about the late morning race start on top of recent GI distress during my long runs. In a 1-1 nutrition coaching session, we took a close look at my daily food intake and discovered I was over-prioritizing protein and under-prioritizing carbohydrates. We made some adjustments to my daily intake and established/tested a clear “night before” and “morning of” fueling plan. We also decided to increase my sodium and carb intake during the race via electrolyte chews (since I’d never been able to handle sports drinks mid-run) and extra gels, and identified opportunities to further optimize my nutrition in the future. I ran a PR in London and felt strong from start to finish. I highly recommend dialing in your nutrition/fueling plan with Emily!

I sought out a nutritionist specifically for running my 3rd Chicago Marathon (Oct 2024) and wanted to focus on nailing my nutrition. I was seeing several Instagram posts from Emily and what she was sharing continued to intrigue me and I loved that she too is a runner and was open with how she used to fuel - sounded a lot like me and some of her wording around how/what she would and wouldn’t eat really resonated with me. I was hoping that Emily would help me shift my mindset and relationship with food and focus on not only how to fuel properly for the race but also how to fuel during training. She was so thoughtful in her approach with customizing a plan that would be mindful of my sensitive stomach and recommended the best fueling products too that actually all tasted good and I hadn’t thought of them prior to meeting with Emily. She was incredibly helpful throughout not only my Chicago Marathon training and race but I used all the resources she provided me for my first ever travel race, to the Marine Corps Marathon (Oct 2025) where I would have to pack my food and race day nutrition. I was able to nail my week of and race day nutrition thanks to Emily!! I love knowing too she’s always with me in not just the tangible materials she provides but only an email or call away. Grateful!!!
