Fuel the Distance

On-Demand Learning

Sports nutrition for Endurance Sports

Whether you’re training for your first half marathon, tackling an ultramarathon, preparing for an Ironman, or simply spending longer hours on the road or trail, nutrition can be the difference between surviving your training and performing at your best.

This in-depth course translates the science of endurance sports nutrition into practical, evidence-based strategies you can apply immediately—without rigid food rules, unnecessary restrictions, or confusion. Intended for those competing in distances that last 90 minutes to 12 hours. You’ll learn how to confidently fuel your body to support performance, recovery, health, and longevity in sport.

This course combines my professional experience as a board-certified sports dietitian working with recreational, collegiate, and elite endurance athletes with my personal experience as a marathoner, ultramarathoner, and Ironman finisher. My goal is to provide you with realistic, flexible nutrition strategies that help you train harder, recover better, and enjoy the process along the way.

Testimonials

Rebecca is such an approachable knowledgeable educator and this experience was immensely helpful to open my eyes to the things that I could be enhancing with my sport pursuits. Thanks for making this accessible and getting the information out there.

I have taken many online webinars from registered dietitians, and Rebecca by far displayed the most comprehensive knowledge-base of the content she covered. I look forward to browsing her other trainings as I know they will not be a waste of time or resources!

I really enjoyed Rebecca's presentation and found it both fascinating and engaging. It was a wonderful blend of science and practical strategies to optimize health and performance in sport. I especially appreciated how she connected physiology and biochemistry concepts to real-world sports nutrition practices, making complex topics easy to understand and apply. The presentation was informative, evidence-based, and full of valuable takeaways.
