Most athletes don't need a complicated plan. They need a clear, individual strategy for everyday eating, training days, long sessions and race week, tested in training and adjusted as the load changes.
“Working together across several marathon preparations completely changed how I look at food. I learned that I need to eat a lot and not be afraid of carbs! The right nutrition helped me achieve amazing results in several marathons, including running sub-3 hours.”
Helena, Latvia · Preparation for several marathons“Linda’s help was crucial for my preparation for several ultramarathons. She helped me build a proper nutrition strategy both for the training block and for the races themselves. As a result, I successfully finished multiple 100+ km ultramarathons and, just as importantly, was able to recover fast and get right back into training for the next ones.”
Toms, Latvia · Preparation for several ultramarathons“Thank you, Linda! After 3 months of 1:1 coaching, I successfully finished the Marathon des Sables. Having a solid nutrition plan made all the difference in such extreme conditions, I went into the race completely prepared and knew exactly how to fuel my body every single day.”
Jānis, Latvia · 3 months of 1:1 coaching, Marathon des Sables“I worked with Linda for several months while training for my first Ironman. She helped me develop a fuelling and recovery strategy that supported long training weeks without overcomplicating things. My energy was more stable, recovery was faster, and I felt much stronger throughout the process.”

I've run many marathons and ultra road races (my longest, 107 km, twice) and many ultra trail races, so I know what long training weeks and race days ask of your body, and how easy it is to overcomplicate fuelling.
I didn't start as an athlete. I hated sports growing up and began running as an adult. That path taught me what good nutrition and consistent training can do, not just for performance but for confidence and self-trust. Today I train around work and two small children, so I know what limited time and energy look like.
I'm a dietitian with a BSc in Clinical Nutrition and an MSc in Nutrition Science from Rīga Stradiņš University, certified in Latvia and based in Norway. I've been working in nutrition and consulting clients since 2017. My approach is evidence-based, practical and individual.
No. If you train regularly and want to feel and perform better, this is for you. Beginners preparing for a first race are welcome.
Yes. We build a strategy for training and the build-up to your event, and test it in your sessions before race day.
Not unless that works for you. We focus on structure, patterns and habits that support your training.
I give you a personalised strategy that adapts to your training week, not a rigid plan. The aim is that you understand your own patterns.
Yes. I use your training plan (and your watch or app data, if you like) to plan your nutrition around it. I don't change your training. I build the fuelling and recovery strategy around the plan you already have.
Yes. Stomach issues during long sessions are one of the most common problems I see. We look at what and when you eat before and during training, which gels, drinks or real food work for you, and how to train your gut. Everything is tested in training sessions, never for the first time on race day.
I look at what you take now and whether it is useful, safe and worth the money. I only recommend supplements where there is a clear reason and evidence behind it. I don't sell any.
Yes, if it fits your goals. Performance and health come first, so we avoid extreme deficits during heavy training. If a change is worthwhile, we plan it so it doesn't cost you energy or recovery.
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons athletes come to me. We look at your intake against your training load and adjust it. If your symptoms point to something that needs medical attention, I'll tell you to see your doctor.
Yes, vegan and vegetarian athletes are welcome. I also work with athletes who have health conditions, for example type 1 diabetes, autoimmune conditions (such as coeliac disease, Hashimoto's or inflammatory bowel disease) and other chronic conditions. I build the strategy around your condition, and it works alongside the care you get from your doctor, not instead of it.
Single sessions are available after you've completed a package.
Yes, sessions are online. I coach in English, Latvian, Russian and Norwegian.
It's 20 minutes. We talk about your training, your goals and what you've tried. No pressure, no commitment, just a chance to see if working together makes sense.
