Coaching the everyday athlete to fuel better and run stronger

About Rachel Turner
I’m Rachel, a run coach and MSc Sport Nutrition student dedicated to helping the ‘everyday athlete’ run stronger and fuel better. A great training plan is only half the battle; success on race day requires a foundation of evidence-based nutrition. I help runners move away from guesswork by integrating structured aerobic training with nutrition advice for training and performance. Whether you're chasing a PB or your first finish line, my goal is to ensure you build volume safely and arrive at the start line fully prepared. Let’s nail your plan and your fueling.
Description
I know what it’s like to balance a busy life with big running goals. I also know how frustrating it is to train hard for months, only to have your race day ruined by ‘hitting the wall’ or a stomach that just won’t behave. That’s why I do things differently. As a qualified Run Coach and current MSc Sport Nutrition student, I’ve realised the missing piece for most runners isn’t more miles—it’s knowing how to fuel them. How I help you, I work specifically with ‘everyday athletes.’ You don't need a pro-level plan that you can't fit into your schedule; you need a strategy that actually works for your life. I bridge the gap between your training and your nutrition so they finally work together. What to expect from my plans: Plans that build safely: I use a calculated approach to increasing your running time, so you stay injury-free and consistent. Gut training: We don’t just practice your pace; we practice your fueling during long runs so your stomach is ready for race day. Real-world nutrition: No guesswork. I use what’s actually proven to work in endurance sports to tell you what, when, and how to eat to feel your best. My Qualifications: MSc Sport Nutrition (In Progress) England Athletics Leadership in Running Fitness and Coach in Running Fitness. I’m here to take the stress out of your training and the guesswork out of your nutrition. Let’s get you to the finish line feeling strong, capable, and—most importantly—ready to perform.
Athlete Requirements
To get the best results from our partnership, I ask for a few things in return: Communication: This is the most important part. I need you to log your runs and leave comments on how they felt. If life gets in the way or a session feels off, tell me so we can adjust. A Willingness to Practice Fueling: Because my plans integrate nutrition, you’ll need to be open to practicing your fueling strategies during your long runs. We aren’t just training your legs; we’re training your gut. Honesty over Ego: I use a calculated approach to build your volume safely. I need you to stick to the prescribed paces and rest days—consistency beats intensity every time. A GPS Watch & Sync: Ideally, you’ll have a way to sync your data to VDOT (Garmin, Coros, etc.) so I can see your progress and make informed decisions for your next block. Whether you are training for a 5k or a marathon, my only requirement is that you are committed to the process and ready to learn.
