UTA 50km Nutrition and Training Plan
Chester : Thanks for all your help Tam, I had the best day out and felt strong all day thanks to your advice on training and weight loss. My fuelling and hydration on the day was perfect, the extra sodium definitely helped as I didn’t get a cramp all day.
UTA 2021 – Race Day Nutrition Plans
Andrew : UTA 100km
I came in at 14.30 , I’m stoked. I ate everything as well – stuck to the plan and I credit some of the gains at the end with that extra energy. I felt like at the start I was the only one eating, and eating ALOT … but I moved from 800th to 240th as the day went on so it worked ! Thanks so much.
Simon: UTA 100km
The 100 went well and in large because of your help throughout. It was a tough day out but with all the fuel and hydration working the rest just fell into place. Seriously, thankyou as I wouldn’t have got through it otherwise.
Paul: UTA 100km
It was a tough day and conditions were tricky. The nutrition plan you made me worked a treat and my nutrition/hydration was probably the smoothest thing all day. I’ve learned alot completing my first Ultra and look forward to chasing down a silver buckle in the future.
Mark : Mountain Bike Racing
Nutrition plan worked! Probably felt better during and at the end than for any other race. Came 3rd in age category
I just wanted to let you know that I survived my 100km at surf coast century! I came in at 12hrs and 21 minutes in the end which I was very happy with considering we had such bad weather. My nutrition went to plan right up until 90km then I was just to cold to take in anymore and just got it finished. So thank you so much for all you’re advice and guidance to get me to the start, my stress reaction in my foot held up well and hasn’t gotten worse which I’m thankful for. Also a big thanks for my race plan – it worked great and I felt good for the entire race! Sarah
Wow was it epic! Thank goodness we packed all that extra food – I needed it because I was out there for 10-13 hours on the first 2 days. Day 3 I was pretty quick. The LONG day was well….long…and it rained all day. The final day I ran the 15km to the end, and my husband was there (plus my Dad and brother as a surprise). The jar of peanut butter was a hit with my tent mates and was a great snack when I was too tired to rummage for anything else in my pack.
I think the nutrition side worked really really well. At gear check, they laughed coz I had so much food and they (almost) convinced me to take some out. But ended up pretty much on target.
Thank you so much for your help and tips along the way. Seriously made the whole crazy thing manageable. Those chemist grade jelly beans were a GOD SEND after 15 hours in the pouring rain. Could barely get them out with freezing hands and wet gloves on. And had them as “dinner” in my sleeping bag when I made it in to camp.

Thank you so much, It was great to see you there and the nutrition plan worked so well.
I will highly recommend you to anyone in the future and look forward to come and see you again for other events. Anna
I loved, loved, loved the day. My family were the best, weather was stunning, trails were dry, no rolled ankles or falls. I had ZERO sleep (literally did not close my eyes) but body went into adrenaline mode so it was fine. Nutrition was good and I had energy. I cannot look at a peanut butter & jam sandwich ever again and I’m packing away all nutrition so I can’t see it. Feet are not good, but rest of body feels great! I can’t thank you enough. It was the best day ever and without you I would have no clue what to eat, when to eat and how to do it practically. Karin
Honestly the main reason that I crossed the finish line with a smile and energy in my legs was because of your guidance and knowledge. Thank you with all of my heart!! I felt full of energy for the entire race. Olivia
I love having you along to speak to our marathoners , ultra runners and triathletes. You really present well – you are so personable and professional and communicate effectively on the athletes level. I’ve seen many presenters over the 10yrs I’ve been with Can Too and it is always a pleasure to welcome you to our pods.

I did the Cradle Mountain Run last weekend. Awesome. Brilliant scenery. And the nutrition and water worked out to plan. I ate and drank what you had in the plan and it worked like a treat. I didn’t get sick at all, and was eating quite nicely even towards the end.

Thanks very much for your help. It was brilliant. I followed your nutrition plan precisely and it worked great. Knowing that I had to get through X and of water and Y amount of food between check points worked really well compared to what I used to do. On previous 100km events I didn’t eat or drink as much and that must have caused many of the problems. It was invaluable having your nutrition plan as I didn’t have to think about it, I just took my check point bag food and then ensured I drunk it and ate it before the next check point. You plan also helped me stay in a positive mindset as I knew I could just trust the plan and it would work.
