Race Day Ready: Manitoba Marathon

A coached, in-person training experience for half and full marathon runners who want structure, support, and a smarter approach to training and fueling. We kick off on Tuesday February 24th!

Training for a half or full marathon shouldn’t feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating.

Race Day Ready is an 18 week coached training experience for runners preparing for the Manitoba Marathon on June 21, 2026. This program combines a structured training plan, in-person education sessions, nutrition guidance, and ongoing coach support to help you train smarter, fuel properly, and feel confident heading into race day. This is not a generic training plan or casual run club. It’s a fully supported marathon build designed to help you stop guessing, stay consistent, and arrive at the start line prepared.

If you’ve ever thought:

○ “I don’t know if I’m eating enough… or too much for my goals.” ○ “I don't even know where to start with fueling or hydration.” ○ “I’m following a plan, but I'm not sure it's helping me get faster.” ○ “I want real guidance, not just another PDF.” ○ “I don’t want to repeat the mistakes I made last time.” ○ “I want to feel confident, not anxious, on race day.”

You’re not alone — and this program was built specifically for runners like you.

Most runners don’t fail because they aren’t motivated. They struggle because they’re trying to piece together training advice, fueling tips, and recovery strategies on their own. Race Day Ready removes the guesswork and replaces it with clarity, structure, and support.

Structured Training for Half & Full Marathoners

You’ll follow a progressive, personalized training plan designed to build fitness, durability, and confidence over 18 weeks leading up to race day. Plus, join us live and in-person weekly for group strength workouts and education sessions.

Fueling & Nutrition Support That Actually Fits Running

Nutrition isn’t an afterthought here. You’ll learn how to fuel your training runs, hydrate properly, and prepare for race day in a way that supports performance, recovery, and helps you reach your goals.

Coaching, Education & Accountability

You’ll receive ongoing coach support and education sessions that explain the why behind your training. This means fewer doubts, better decision-making, and the confidence that you’re doing the right things at the right time.

Hi, I’m Steph, Registered Dietitian, running coach, and the voice behind The Fuel Run Recover Podcast. I work with runners every day who are training hard but still feel stuck, under-fueled, or unsure if they’re doing things “right.” My approach combines evidence-based nutrition, smart training strategies, and real-life practicality so runners can perform better without burning themselves into the ground. I’ve helped runners prepare for everything from their first half marathon to BQs, and I created Race Day Ready to give runners the support system I wish I had had when I first started racing. You don’t need to train harder, you need to train smarter, fuel better, and feel supported along the way.
