Record-Breaking Nutrition 🚀
Aaron Young | Bibbulmum Track Assisted FKT Holder
"I went from winging it at races to having a plan that just works"
Having Gaby in my corner has made a huge difference, especially with back-to-back races like the Arizona Monster 300 and Cocodona 250.
My fuelling is structured, tested, and dialled in before I ever toe the start line. On the Bibbulmun Track FKT, I ran nine days straight, consuming 90 grams of carbs per hour without gut issues, with no changes to the plan and consistent execution.
Phil Gore | Backyard Ultra World Record Holder
"I felt my best ever during a backyard ultra, right up to the very last lap"
Before working with Gaby, I was showing up to races and figuring out nutrition on the fly. Gaby has been instrumental in getting my fuelling dialled in across multiple major races, from local events to World Championships.
She doesn't just hand you a generic plan, every detail is built around you specifically. No gut issues, no sodium imbalances, just sustained energy right to the very last lap. She's as committed to your success as you are.
Donna Urquhart | Guinness World Record™ for the longest ultramarathon in a polar region
“Gaby's expertise was pivotal in enabling me to break a World Record.”
There is no blueprint for how to fuel to run 50km per day for 28 days in the coldest, windiest and driest desert on earth. But that didn’t stop Gaby - she worked with me closely to develop and refine a detailed nutrition plan for running, recovery and life in Antarctica.
I loved working with Gaby, she was such an integral part of our team and her knowledge and experience were invaluable.
