I run an outdoor content website dedicated to thru-hikers, ultra-trail runners, and mountaineers. I am putting together a comprehensive case study and guide on the reality of fueling for multi-day endurance sports, and I am looking for a credentialed sports nutrition expert to be our featured guest contributor.
Instead of a standard quote, I am looking for an expert willing to provide detailed insights based on a structured outline I have already prepared. You will be credited as the guest expert/author for this piece, complete with a bio and a do‑follow link to your practice, book, or website.
Topics we will cover include:
• The physiological shift between fueling for a single day vs. a multi‑day outdoor event.
• The reality of sports gels and liquid calories vs. real food on the trail.
• Protein degradation in freeze‑dried meals and avoiding altitude gut rot.
• Fat as a primary fuel source for slow‑burn mountain treks.
Requirements:
• You must be a Registered Dietitian (RD), certified sports nutritionist, or hold an advanced degree in exercise science/nutrition.
• Personal or professional experience working with outdoor endurance athletes is highly preferred.
Because this is a featured guest piece, I am looking for someone willing to write detailed, science‑backed answers to a provided outline (roughly 800–1200 words), rather than a single‑sentence quote.
Deadline: Mar 10th, 2026 11:59 PM (May close early)
This deadline has passed, and new answer submissions are no longer being accepted.
