Fuel Smarter.
Run Stronger. Finish Proud.
You’re doing everything “right” — but still hitting walls, battling injuries, and dreading your long runs.
You’re not new to running,
but you’re tired of running into the same problems.
Whether you’re training for your next half, marathon, or ultra…
You might be struggling with…
Hitting the wall at 30km
Bonking mid-run and blaming your mindset
Frequent injuries that keep you from the finish line
Dealing with GI issues that no one talks about (hello, runners’ trots!)
Wondering why your fueling plan isn’t actually…a plan
You don’t need another race.
You need a strategy to fuel your body like the athlete you are!
Hi, I’m Zarah
Endurance Nutrition Coach and avid runner
I know how defeating it feels to do everything right with your training and still not show up your best on race day.
I’ve completed 11 marathons, two Boston Qualifiers, countless half-marathons, and a handful of ultras — so when I say I’ve experienced it all, I mean it.
I started Grounded Rootz to help runners in their 30s, 40s, and 50s fuel smarter, recover faster, and feel confident every time they toe the start line.
Because when you get your nutrition right?
You run stronger and you trust yourself more, too.
Ready to run with strength, confidence, and less second-guessing?
Here’s how we can work together:
