Erin has given me the confidence to train harder knowing I’m properly fuelled.
Erin has been fantastic to work with, she has helped me fine tune my day to day meal plan to help support my training regime and general wellbeing of a busy mum. This has given me the confidence to train harder knowing I’m properly fuelled. She is very friendly and approachable, nothing is ever too much to ask. Erin has also done all my race nutrition and hydration, without her support and planning the races wouldn’t have gone so smoothly and stress free.

Erin has completely changed my whole mindset about day to day nutrition.
Erin has completely changed my whole mindset about day to day nutrition and my racing nutrition. Erin provided me with the guidance and tools to allow me to have a healthy body weight after some personal issues. Erin's help guided me to a 3 hour PB at Ultra Adelaide 100km and also to allow me to finish the hardest 100 Mile race in Australia the GPT100 Mile in the Grampians. Thanks Erin!

Erin gave me specific and measurable short and long term goals that I was able work towards.
Working with Erin was an absolute privilege. Erin approaches her clients with compassion and understands the intertwined nature of mindset and eating habits. Erin gave me specific and measurable short and long term goals that I was able work towards, and built on my existing knowledge so that together we were able to formulate a plan that was sustainable and supported my health and running goals. Under the guidance of Erin and my running coach I took 45 minutes off of my first marathon time and broke 3:00 hours… then did it again in my next marathon.

Her depth of knowledge and communication skills are outstanding.
Working with Erin has been a revelation. Her depth of knowledge and communication skills are outstanding. In addition to her professional expertise, Erin has tremendous insight as an endurance athlete herself, so her advice is practical, straightforward, easy to understand and follow. Her carbohydrate loading and race plans are incredibly detailed, and take all the stress out of race day. I now feel confident that my training and race day nutrition will let me perform at my best. I only wish I had started my education process with her earlier.

Erin’s assistance if you are a runner keen to ensure your nutrition and hydration is on-point.
I contacted Erin before racing my first Ultra Trail Australia 22km trail race and my first marathon a couple of months later. I wanted some help with getting nutrition and hydration sorted out for races and training for both, and also with losing some excess weight in a healthy and sustainable way. With Erin’s help, I completed both races with no nutrition and hydration issues and was able to shed a few kilos in the lead up without feeling deprived. I highly recommend seeking Erin’s assistance if you are a runner keen to ensure your nutrition and hydration is on-point.

Important Heads Up: This is NOT a “No Pain, No Gain” program. You won’t find gruelling meal plans and strict food rules here. If you want to punish yourself to perform at your best, this program is not right for you. If you’ve got a race in the next 6 months and want to learn the foundations of science-based performance nutrition, you’re in the right place.
Runners, Let’s Get Real and a Little Bit Personal for a Minute…
You’re here for a reason (and it’s not by chance).
In all your years of running,
doesn’t it feel like you’ve tried it all?
I’m talking about all the unhelpful supplements, gels and pills. Maybe you signed up for a “bootcamp” or another program that promised to improve your performance and left feeling worse than when started.
Oh, and let’s not forget the diets…
Keto. Low Carb, High Fat. Intermittent fasting (more like intermittent starving).
All those strategies to try and fuel your body, fight fatigue and protect your figure and what do you have to show for it? You might have seen results from time to time - but they never last.
You want to train hard and complete races to the best of your ability, but you end up without energy, dealing with frustrating gut issues, struggling to sleep, or dealing with regular cramps and injuries.
Sounds pretty close to reality, right?
The truth is, your running results have nothing to do with your effort and everything to do with your nutrition.
FACT: No Amount of Training Can Help You Outrun Poor Nutrition
Weekend runners and elite athletes often come to me thinking they need to train harder, take more supplements or change their body composition to reach new heights in their racing careers.
They’ve tried turning to Dr.Google for answers. They’ve invested months (sometimes years!) in trial and error. And they’ve turned over every stone looking for that training and race day advantage.
The truth is, you need to fuel for the work required. You’ll only increase the chance of injuries and illness without the correct performance nutrition.
Chances are you want to look down at your watch for a new PB. Maybe you dream of that elusive podium finish. Or, you want to get back to finally enjoying your running (instead of yo-yoing between bloating and starving).
I feel your pain… because I’ve been in your shoes before and put all the right effort in all the wrong places.
Is Your Diet Supporting…
or Destroying Your Training and Results?
That might sound like hyperbole but it’s not. You’re either fuelled up and ready to go (whether it’s time to train or race) or derailing your race plan by failing to fuel correctly.
Can you relate to any of the following?
You’ve mapped out your training program with an eye on an upcoming race… but you feel too tired, hungry and irritable to perform at the level you expect.
You’ve crossed the finish line feeling exhausted and a little disappointed… and if you’re being 100% honest with yourself you know your results could (and should) be better.
You’re looking for the right information to help you train and race like a champion… but with so much conflicting advice online it feels impossible to know when, where or how to get started.
You’ve tried eating less, restricting carbs and winging it when it comes to sodium and hydration… and the only thing you have to show for it is up-and-down running results.
Helping distance runners of all ages and experience levels to overcome these challenges is what I do every day. So if you’re ready to train and run your best possible race, I can help.
Hi, I'm Erin Colebatch
Accredited Sports Dietitian.
Ultra Athlete.
Formerly Underfuelled Runner.
Fatigue. Injuries. Poor training results.
Morale-crushing underperformance.
I know these struggles because I’ve lived and raced through them too. Every one of these soul-crushing obstacles were common at the start of my sports nutrition and racing journey.
I’d bounce between underfuelling my body for fear of weight gain (and then crashing on race day) to overtraining and ending up with injuries that set me back and slowed my progress.
I tried every “one size fits all” approach to training and racing nutrition and, well… things didn’t go according to plan.
- Restrictive diets left me starving and dragging my legs like a carb-hungry zombie.
- A fear of weight gain turned me into a fatigued shell of myself that barely had enough energy to lace my running shoes.
- Overtraining meant a lack of sleep and niggling injuries that hung around like the smell of a gross unwashed protein shaker.
I spent years in this cycle. And that’s when I realised most “training nutrition” plans are unsustainable because they’re created by people who haven’t been through the experience we have.
They’re either experts in running… without a scientific background or they’re focused on science… without ever setting off at a starter’s gun at 6am.

What Does Your Next Race Look Like?
BEFORE THE ACADEMY
- Ah, damn. Another gut issue or drop in energy right before your next big race.
- You nailed your macros but feel fatigued, tired and light-headed. Goodbye results!
- Niggling injuries destroy your training consistency and leave you seriously underdone on race day.
- You’re training your brains out to try and improve your results, but nothing is working (and your belly does NOT feel great).
- You’re randomly trying new things which you tell yourself is “trial and error” but is really just wasting time and energy.
AFTER THE ACADEMY
- You’ve got a custom training and nutrition plan to get the best out of your body. Nice!
- You’re eating properly and feeling full and hydrated, without jumping between bloat and constant hunger.
- Quick recovery after training and racing lets you tackle your next event with confidence.
- Your custom supplement plan gives you the advantage you need to smash your PBs and bring the joy back to running.
