When you hear the word fiber… what comes to mind?

Probably digestion.
Maybe that mid-run gut panic. 😅

But here’s the thing:
fiber isn’t just about staying regular. For endurance athletes, it plays a much bigger role in energy, recovery, and gut health than most people realize.

In fact, nearly half of endurance athletes aren’t getting enough fiber, and it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong. It’s because fiber timing and tolerance can feel confusing.

In my newest blog, I break down:

🔹 Why fiber actually supports more stable, long-lasting energy
🔹 How fiber helps your gut bacteria support recovery and inflammation
🔹 When higher-fiber foods help… and when they can hurt performance
🔹 Whether “fiber-maxxing” is actually a smart strategy for athletes

This isn’t about eating as much fiber as possible.
It’s about using fiber strategically so your gut and your training both feel better.

👇 Be honest, athletes… do you feel like you’re getting enough fiber right now, or is it something you’ve never really thought about?

When you hear the word inflammation… what comes to mind?

For most people, it’s things like a bee sting, a sprained ankle, or that red, swollen pimple. Ouch.

But here’s the thing: inflammation isn’t always the villain it’s made out to be. In fact, for athletes, short-term (acute) inflammation is a key part of how our bodies adapt, repair, and get stronger.

The problem? Chronic inflammation — the kind that lingers for weeks or months.

This type can drain your energy, impair recovery, and even increase long-term disease risk.

That’s where nutrition comes in.

An anti-inflammatory diet isn’t about restriction. It’s about adding more foods that help your body heal, recover, and thrive. In my latest blog, I break down:

🔹 The difference between acute and chronic inflammation
🔹 Foods that help fight inflammation (think berries, fatty fish, leafy greens, spices)
🔹 Why adding these foods regularly can support both performance and long-term health

If you’ve ever wondered how your daily meals could be working for or against your recovery and performance, this post is for you.

Smiling in all the race pics. 🤩

Not because I was having a PR kind of a day.

Not because the weather was perfect (it was hotter and windier than just about any race I’ve ever done).

I was genuinely happy to be there, with some of the fastest age group triathletes in the country. 🏊🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Happy to be healthy enough to compete.

Filled with gratitude from the 5am wake up until crossing the finish line.

Don’t get me wrong, perfect races and PRs are really amazing. But feeling like we should only race when everything is perfect takes the joy out of something that should be fun.

Thanks to my coach @jonfecikracing for always supporting me and giving me the confidence to go. Thanks to my PT @mcgearyscott for helping me overcome a nasty battle with plantar fasciitis. And thanks to my best triathlon partner in crime, Chip Dye, for always making triathlon weekends little romantic getaways. 💕 ...
