Get prepared for a confident marathon in the Essential Marathon Fueling Course
Over 65% of runners get injured, every year.
While injury can be caused by accidents, overtraining, or other reasons, the root of many injuries is IMPROPER FUELING. Many runners simply don’t know how much, what, or even how to fuel. Others think they know how to fuel. They work really hard at it, but still end up improperly fueled.

Brit Giles RDN
Dietitian, RRCA Level 1 Certified Running Coach, Marathoner
I hobbled across the finish line of my first full marathon- dehydrated, underfueled, and injured. I told myself I’d never do it again. My recovery took months. It wasn’t until a year later that I said, “maybe I could do the marathon again!” Since then I have continued to run and train for races, achieved my BQ goal (TWICE!), and have more ambitious goals I’m working toward.
I received my Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credentials and learned everything I needed to know about how to fuel for the marathon. I realized that I got hurt because of my poor fueling. I thought I knew what I was doing when in reality I had no idea.
Sifting through the information out there is overwhelming. I wanted to create a class that is clear, simple, and useful for all runners out there looking to prevent injury and get through their training plan and ultimately to the starting line feeling confident about their fueling plan.
As an RDN, running coach, and marathon runner, I love helping runners experiment with my recommendations and find that they feel stronger, more satisfied, confident, and fast.
As you work through the course, you will be able to clear out any questions you may have about how to eat right. You’ll be able to build up your own body and mind so that you can experience an injury-free, confident, and FAST marathon finish!
“The course is brilliant! Even though I have a solid nutrition background, the course was beneficial, phrased in an easy way to understand and implement.”

FAQs
I am new to marathon running. Is this an advanced course?
Runner, welcome to the running community! I’m so excited for you! This marathon fueling class is meant for you. Lesson one dives into the basics and each lesson builds on each other, so that the both the newbie and the experienced runner can benefit.
When should I take this course? Am I too far into my training?
It is never too late to improve your nutrition. Now is better than never. Plus, you’ll have access to the course for a full year, so it can give you a leg up for your next race.
How long is the course and why?
The course is full of dozens of videos, each lasting anywhere between 1-15 minutes. It has ten lessons, each designed to work you through in an order that will build upon each other. It will likely take 4+ hours total to complete the course, more if you choose to spend more time on it. I do recommend taking time, notes, rewatching videos, and more so you can get the most out of it.
What if I’m looking for more individualized nutrition support?
If you are looking for more individualized nutrition support, it might be a good idea to first start with the Essential Marathon Fueling Course. It answers a lot of the questions that many runners have. Once you’ve learned and applied the things you learn, you may still have questions and want individual support. If this is you, contact me so I can connect you with a dietitian.
“I was able to finish my first marathon and I had never been a runner before. It took me over 6 hours to finish but I did it and I think a big reason was because I made sure to take my gels and also made sure to take in electrolytes and also just plain water. I think all of that helped me cross that finish line.”
