Stop Under-Fueling. Start Performing.
Why This Workshop Exists
Most women endurance athletes:
● Train hard but don’t eat enough to support that training
● Fear carbs or “earning food”
● Feel slower, flatter, more fatigued than they used to
● Assume it’s strength, stress, or hormones — when it’s often fuel mismatch
This workshop is for women who:
● Ride or run regularly
● Feel tired despite consistent training
● Are done dieting but still want performance
● Want to age and perform strong, not smaller
Core Teaching Pillars
1. The #1 Mistake: Chronic Under-Fueling
Key message:
You cannot adapt to training you don’t fuel for.
● What low energy availability looks like in real life
● Subtle signs women ignore:
○ Needing coffee to train
○ Feeling “flat” on easy days
○ Poor recovery, disrupted sleep
○ Increased aches or injuries
Reframe: Fatigue ≠ lack of fitness. Often it’s lack of fuel.
2. Carbs Are Not the Enemy or the Answer
Key message:
Carbs fuel performance and protect hormones.
● Why endurance athletes need daily carbs, not just race-day carbs
● The difference between:
○ Low-carb eating
○ Strategic carb timing
● What happens hormonally when carbs are too low (stress response ↑)
Simple takeaway:
“If you’re training most days, carbs are not optional. Know how and when to utilize
them.”
3. Recovery Is Where Women Undereat the Most
Key message:
Recovery nutrition determines tomorrow’s workout.
● Protein targets (why women often under-dose)
● Carb + protein within ~60 minutes
● Why skipping post-workout meals increases injury risk
4. The “Invisible” Nutrient Gaps
Quick hits on:
● Iron (especially endurance + menstruating women)
● Calcium + bone stress risk
● Hydration misconceptions (more ≠ better)
5. Will walk out knowing:
1. Understand what under-fueling looks like in real life (not extreme cases)
2. Learn why carbohydrates are essential for endurance performance and hormonal
support
3. Know how to fuel workouts based on duration and intensity
4. Improve post-training recovery through adequate protein and carbohydrate intake
5. Identify common micronutrient gaps relevant to female endurance athletes
6. Leave with a simple, repeatable fueling framework they can apply immediatel
