Are you an ultra-runner who struggles to find the time, place, and friends to pack in big weekends of miles on the trails?
Do you struggle with creating your fueling plan for races or struggle with symptoms related to fueling (GI upset, cramping etc.)?
If the answer to those questions is yes, or you just want to spend a weekend with friends frolicking through the beautiful mountains of Virgina this camp is for you.
Looking for 10 ultra runners looking to level up their fueling strategies and pack in a big weekend of training in the forest with friends. The weekend schedule will be tailor-made for athletes of all levels looking to get in a weekend of back-to-back long runs (with various distance options) out on the trails. If you struggle to get in trail mileage in your area or are looking to pack in some mileage in the mountains, but don’t want to do a solo trip, this camp is perfect for you.
When we aren’t running, we’ll be fueling, of course. Liz and Michael Raynor, Registered Dietitians, will be providing fueling support during runs, at meals, and through multiple fueling talks and seminars throughout the weekend. If you’ve run ultras in the past but struggled with fueling, this camp is for you.
Eat. Run. Learn. Repeat.

- Optional Sweat Test: Raynor Strength and Nutrition is thrilled to offer sweat testing as an add on to any of our camps. We provide you with immediate results about the sodium concentration in your sweat allowing us to better individualize your fueling plan. It’s done at rest and is noninvasive (no needles!). Additionally, we will help incorporate your results into an individualized fueling plan for your training and events including fluid volume needs and carbohydrate needs. Wondering if sweat testing is right for you? If you identify as a "heavy" sweater, have salt stains on your face or clothes after workouts or long efforts, have gastrointestinal symptoms often during training or longer events, or compete during hot and/or humid times of year...sweat testing can be a game changer for your performance!
