Petra - Chicago Marathon PR
I worked with Petra leading up to the 2026 Chicago Marathon, and I'm really glad I did. Fueling has always been something I've struggled with, especially late in races, so I wanted to try a different approach this year.
Petra put together a carb-loading and race-day fueling plan that was specific to me and my goals. She explained why we were doing certain things, answered all my questions, and made the whole process pretty straightforward.
The best part? It worked! I felt strong throughout the race, avoided the late-race struggles I've had in previous marathons, and ended up running a new PR despite it being a very hot race !
I put a lot of work into training for Chicago, but I genuinely believe Petra's guidance helped me get more out of that training on race day. I'd absolutely recommend working with her!
