Past ECM PARTICIPANT Wins FROM 2024

Kristy Baumann is a Registered Dietitian, 12x marathon runner, and mom of a 2 and 5 year old. For years she thought she was fueling well as a runner, but still struggled to hit paces, would feel nauseous and have GI issues after long runs, and experienced muscle cramps on race day. She thought carbohydrate loading was eating a large pasta dinner the night before the race and staying hydrated was just about drinking water. 

After studying sports nutrition, she realized she was missing one of the most powerful tools as a runner - a proper fueling strategy. Over the past 4 years she has helped hundreds of runners transform their running through nutrition to avoid 'hitting the wall', overcome stomach problems, and beyond that, help runners not fear eating carbs.
