Run Fuel: A Weight Loss Program For Runners

Are You a Runner Who Wants to Lose Weight Without Starving?

Is this for you?

You have gained weight even while running regularly.
Your running paces have gotten slower.
You're tired of being lethargic and having an energy crash every afternoon.
Eat "mostly healthy" yet your body doesn't look like it.
Often find yourself skipping meals and then over-eating at dinner or raiding the pantry at night.

Run Fuel will help you lose weight and keep it off while fueling your runs without going hungry!

I created Run Fuel to help other female runners who feel frustrated and overwhelmed by their bodies & the conflicting messages they’re getting to feel empowered that they do not have to give up running (or eat pounds of cottage cheese!) to feel confident in their bodies, even as they age.

How it Works:

Run Fuel is the compilation of the knowledge I’ve collected over 9 years of working with runners on nutrition, my UESCA endurance nutrition certification, run coach certification and my own personal experience. This is 100% MY program & all resources, videos and coaching is done by me. It takes place in a private app, off of social media.

The program is designed for you to participate for 8 weeks, with the option to continue as long as you’d need support. During your membership you will get access to a private app which includes:

1. 4 Step Process with trainings & resource library (including recipes/meal ideas) in private app/website so you know exactly what to do & WHY you’re doing it.

2. Weekly accountability check ins & when needed, feedback from me for encouragement, troubleshooting & questions, so you’ll be more consistent & recover from setbacks faster

3. Community of women going through the program with you so you feel understood & encouraged

4. Optional Bi-weekly live coaching calls with me (recorded) to get more custom feedback on your own progress & challenges and learn from others.

No food groups are eliminated and you can do this around holidays, events and even vacations if needed.

No need to wait for the “perfect time”

My 4 Week Transformation Using the Run Fuel Method

In the photo on the left, I had just ran my first 50K & celebrated my 40th birthday at the heaviest weight in years.

Ironically, I had also increased my mileage and was running the most miles I ever had that year. I was eating “mostly healthy” yet I felt tired, bloated and none of my clothes fit. I knew I wasn’t fueling my body to match my ambitious running goals.

I went shopping for new clothes for my 40th birthday party and left the mall empty handed, feeling completely defeated.

I could have said “I’m just getting old.” Or “Maybe I need to run less and focus on heavier weight lifting like the 40+ gurus on Instagram say.”

But no. I LOVE running & I ALSO want to feel great.

I needed to get honest with myself: it was time to change my habits.

But I also did not want be hungry or feel deprived. I was about to start training for a marathon, with the goal of setting a PR, and I needed to balance fueling my body well for my runs & creating the calorie deficit required to lose weight.

After following the program for 4 weeks and eating over 2,000 calories a day (but not actually counting calories!):

I lost 5 pounds and 7.5 inches. My running paces got faster, my clothes fit better and my skin even looks better. After finishing the program, I brought back more of my favorite treats but kept the majority of my habits & have continued to lose weight.

This is what you will learn to do in the Run Fuel program. How to eat to lose weight AND fuel your running.

I Thought I Liked Food Too Much to Be Fit

I have been a nutrition & strength coach for runners for 8 years and have helped over 1,000 women lose weight. I am passionate about this because it completely changed my life.

I was an overweight child who believed it was my destiny to be obese. After struggling with yo-yo dieting and disordered eating in my 20s, I found running.

I had tried every diet, but I have a big appetite and eating 1,200 calories a day left me irritable and binging by Thursday.

This type of nutrition program was what finally helped me fuel my body like an athlete and lose weight while feel satisfied and actually KEEP IT OFF. And when I got certified as a UESCA Endurance Nutrition Coach, I learned the science behind why it works.

Plus, I got a 5.5 minute half marathon PR after 90 days of changing the way I ate!
