Prior to working with Sheila, I’d never completed a marathon without severe cramping during the last 10 miles, leading to injury. In fact, I had almost given up on the idea that I could enjoy competing in endurance sports. After attending one of Sheila’s cycling nutrition seminars, I decided to do V02 testing with Sheila and to have her help me develop a fueling, hydration, and electrolyte plan for a half ironman and a marathon. For the first time ever- NO CRAMPS. Without Shelia’s professional support, I would have curbed my goals. After all, half marathons are a great distance. But now, I aspire to be an Ironman! Sheila’s services open up doors of possibility.

I had Sheila re-test my threshold. It was VERY COOL to see the difference/improvement since my last test. And, now I know more accurately where I need to focus for my coached workouts this season. If I had used my results from the last test, I would be short-changing myself on all my workouts and not getting the most out of my time.

I wanted to thank you for my fueling plan. It worked well for me during the 70.3. I felt hydrated without sloshing & my energy levels were good.

I had an awesome race today for CIM. Ended up at 4:42 and was hoping to just break 5:00. Generation UCAN the whole way!!!!! It rocks. Sheila thank you for recommending it. My energy was consistent the entire run all 26.2 miles.

Sheila's guidance on nutrition was instrumental in my training. Her attention to detail and comprehensive explanation on how I can improve through whole foods and proper supplementation helped me gain endurance during my base training. I am able to train harder, longer and best of all feel good training. She also gave me the foundation on how, when and what to eat everyday as an athlete. Thank you!
