Tom Evans & Ruth Crofts secret UTMB nutrition strategy

This week on RUNcensored, Gary and Ben sit down with Paul Booth — Lead Nutritionist for Salomon and Sports Nutrition Researcher at the Leeds Beckett University — to explore how elite fuelling strategies can transform the way we all train and race.

Paul has worked directly with Tom Evans and Ruth Croft, the male and female winners of this year’s UTMB in Chamonix, helping them perfect their race-day nutrition through gut training, carbohydrate loading, and precision hydration.

In this conversation, Paul breaks down how he guided Tom to consume 120g of carbs per hour, how Ruth adapted her fuelling to increase performance, and the science behind glucose–fructose ratios, hydration,heat tolerance, and altitude testing.

He also explains what everyday runners can take from the elite level — from how to avoid stomach issues in long events to simple strategies for improving recovery, energy management, and consistency.

It’s a deep dive into the science of endurance nutrition and the fascinating intersection of research and real-world racing.
