Hey Reader ,

I spent last weekend in a van running 460+ miles from Buffalo to Brooklyn, NY with eleven other friends. Kind of insane, but also the type of adventure that reminds me that it's pretty dang awesome to be surrounded by friends who show up for each other and themselves in so many ways.

There were highs and lows, but so many laughs. And lots of snacks, of course. This weekend was a perfect reminder of the duality of running (and life,really): equal parts grit and pure, unserious fun.

Other things I learned on this journey:

• Always pack a raincoat because then it won’t rain
• Your mind will fail you before your body does— having the right people around you to keep you working towards a goal is key
• Getting in and out of the third row of a mini-van in the midst of running 38+ miles may be harder than running said miles
• Napping under a tree with a cool breeze is the most elite form of relaxation
• Carbs will forever be queen
• The perfect playlist does exist
• Friendship is the greatest gift of all

Training blocks for fall races are starting soon! 🎉

Looking to take on a fall race?! It’s almost about that time to get your training plan set. As we head into the dawg days of summer, I am giving some exclusive offers for all my loyal email subscribers.

• Multi-sport coaching: Triathlon training is a whole puzzle. Most people are missing the biggest piece: a strategy that actually fits your real life and the sports nutrition knowledge to show up in training and life. Sign up for coaching now through July 13th and get $50 off/month per 4-month term.
• Nutrition coaching: Feel solid on your training plan but shaky on your fueling strategy? Maybe race day fueling is on lock but you struggle with the day to day eating to support training and recovery? Or you just want a 1:1 session where you can ask me anything? Book a fueling and strategy session now through July 13th and get a second session 50% off (must be used within 6 months of purchase).

Just hit reply to this email if you have any questions or book a discovery call to yap through the options to work together to make the most out of your 2026 races!

• Some great podcast episodes have dropped including catching up with Olympian, world-record holder, and past client Keira D’Amato!
• My book, Power Up: A Young Woman’s Guide to Winning with Sports Nutrition was part of a recent book club for NICA NY Goats! Their goal is to empower young women on and off the trails to increase female participation in mountain biking.
• A solid summer of partnerships with brands I use and love: TrainingPeaks (more coming this fall!), Tailwind Nutrition, and Good Ranchers. Your support of my content on instagram and the podcast is what has made these campaigns so successful. It is always appreciated and does not go unnoticed!!

Code IRON at Goodranchers.com will take $100 off the first three orders when you subscribe OR $40 off your first order if you want to try it out first.
