I first heard of Gaby and IntensEATfit through Tribe & Trail’s promotion of a sweat test. A bit of research made me realise I could benefit from a better understanding of my nutrition needs and how I manage it.

I’m an experienced, average runner who had cobbled together a few thoughts and practices on fuelling/energy for some of the shorter ultra events (5 to 8 hours). I also tried the backyard ultra for the first time at Herdys 2022. I’ve had just a few events and training sessions where I felt great throughout, but loads more where I goosed myself and hit that wall! Essentially I had no consistency in results and hadn’t recognised the importance of consistent fuelling practices, especially in my day-to-day life and training.

Working with Gaby has given me four main benefits:

• Confidence that I already have a lot of good nutritional habits and practices to work with
• A proper understanding of the need to fuel for purpose – to manage energy levels through every day and in the lead up to, during and after an event
• Lots of specific advice and ideas that work for me
• I have genuine excitement that I now have a stronger foundation for my body and mind to take me into new territory, without the limits from poor fuelling.

I’m a big fan of Gaby’s personal, positive, authoritative and flexible approach to working with her clients.
