Fuel for big vert, long miles, and wild weather.
Whether you’ve been dancing down scree and ridgelines for years or you’re stepping into your first ultra, we’re here to fuel your way. We’ve been running trails for over four decades and find our happy place at 14,000′.
Fueling an ultra run (or ultra multisport race) isn’t just “more of the same” compared to a marathon or triathlon. Over hours and days your body, brain, and gut adapt—energy rises and dips, appetite shifts, and your fueling must flex with the weather, terrain, and effort.
How We Build Your Plan
- Assess — training, GI triggers, labs, and race demands
- Design — hourly carb, fluid, sodium targets
- Train the Gut — test intake during long runs
- Race-Ready — crew cards, aid stations, contingency plans
Marathon to 60k to 50 mile to Ultra
Doubling distance isn’t as simple as doubling gels. Once you move into all-day or multi-day events, new constraints emerge: sleep deprivation, palate fatigue, night running, crew logistics, and aid station variability. We build plans that scale with time-on-feet, not just mileage.
Our approach includes:
- Nighttime fueling strategies using caffeine, warm foods, and gut-friendly solids.
- Progressive carbohydrate targets by hour and terrain, not per mile.
- Electrolyte strategies that adapt to temperature swings and altitude.
- Palate rotation cycles (sweet → savory → neutral) to prevent flavor fatigue.
So Many Opinions. What Actually Works?
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan.
Keto, low-carb, high-carb, paleo, real-food, liquid-only—you’ve heard it all.
We help you figure out what works for your physiology, preferences, and health background, then pressure-test it in training so race day feels routine.
PLANS FOR EVERY TRAIL RUNNER
First-time ultra athletes
- Build a simple, bulletproof fueling plan.
- Train your gut to handle race-day intake.
- Avoid rookie mistakes at aid stations.
Experienced racers
- Break through recurring bonks or GI issues.
- Fine-tune caffeine, sodium, and carb timing.
- Dial strategies for heat, altitude, and elevation gain.
Athletes with health goals
- Incorporate functional testing without overcomplicating.
- Fuel while pursuing fat loss or body-composition changes.
- Navigate thyroid, autoimmune, or peri/menopause needs.
