With just eight weeks to go until the Kathmandu Coast to Coast 2023, we talk all things nutrition.

The longer an endurance event gets, the more important nutrition becomes. Therefore, nutrition is a top priority if you want to execute your best possible performance.

Registered Dietitian Conrad Goodhew joins us to teach us a few tips and tricks and answer any burning questions you may have.

Three months out from race day, it is time to get specific to training for the Kathmandu Coast to Coast. But how much is too much, and how do we get specific if we can’t get over the course – we cover these questions and more as we deep dive into all things training.

Getting to the finish line is one thing, but the startline of the Kathmandu Coast to Coast is a whole other thing. 

Once you've committed to this amazing event, it's about putting in the work to ensure you get the best out of yourself and the experience.
