Working with Ryann removed a lot of stress and overthinking as I prepared for this event. I’ve been training and tracking for years, and feel that I have a relatively good understanding of nutrition, but now I didn’t have to second guess if I was fueling enough or too much. And it always helps having someone in your corner holding you accountable and cheering you on at the same time.

Having coach Whit in my corner for the hardest 3 months of training I’ve ever done was such a game changer for me, mentally and physically. The experience has taught me so much and I’m beyond grateful for the knowledge I can take forward into future training goals.

Thank you for your continued guidance through this ultra journey I have found myself on. I really feel like a legit athlete and now I am performing like one too! It is cheesy, but I get emotional thinking about how things have worked out, and that careful planning and hard work can actually make some big results. Thank you so much for being a big part of that.

People (women, especially) don’t fuel enough for what we ask our bodies to do day in and day out, and then we expect to perform our best too? It doesn’t work that way. And (thankfully for me) ultra running isn’t a sport that praises aesthetics. But we are rewarded with strong legs 60 miles in because we shoved mashed potatoes down at mile 50. Over the last 6 months I’ve been practicing eating for this kind of thing, because it takes just that - so much practice.
