Philosophy of MindFuelBody

For runners, by runners.

I strongly believe and know from my own experience that running performance is more than just putting one foot in front of the other. It's about understanding how mindset, nutrition, and training intertwine to optimise your performance and achieve your goals. By addressing your mindset, nutrition, and training, we’ll unlock your mind-body connection which will help you to become a stronger, more resilient runner, capable of achieving your goals not only on a race course but in life.

Mind

Our MINDset is a powerful tool that can either propel you forward or hold you back. By cultivating a positive and resilient mindset, you can overcome obstacles, push through challenges, and tap into your full potential as a runner. By unlocking the subconscious, hypnotherapy helps you to discover and harness your inner strengths, enabling you to make positive choices and achieve your goals.
Fuel

FUELing your body with the right nutrients is essential for sustained energy, optimal recovery, and overall well-being. My nutrition guidance focuses on providing your body with the fuel it needs to thrive, whether it's pre-run fueling, post-run recovery, or everyday nutrition habits.
Body

A well-rounded training program is key to improving your running performance. From building endurance and strength to improving speed and agility, my training plans are designed to challenge you while keeping your BODY injury-free and motivated.

“Tamara was an amazing running coach! Professional, experienced and knowledgeable. She got me marathon ready in 6 weeks, and I loved her holistic and authentic approach to coaching. She listened to my goals, preferences and needs, and created my plan to suit this.
Throughout the training period Tamara was so supportive and encouraging, and celebrated every success with me.
I would highly recommend, and will definitely work with Tamara again for my next challenge!”
“I had the pleasure of experiencing hypnotherapy practice sessions with Tamara and I would highly recommend her. Her use of visualisations is extremely powerful and really encourages you to imagine your goals with a positive mindset. She always ensured that the hypnotherapeutic visualisations she used were tailored to me as an individual and she was completely open to suggestions and feedback if I felt like something wasn't working for me.”

”Tamara is greatly knowledgeable and inspiring. I was never a runner, but in less than 3 months I will feel confident to run 25km thanks to her advice! She’s an all-round amazing coach who will motivate you to become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself. I’m lucky to have her by my side as a coach and as a friend.”
“Tamara is an excellent coach. She’s patient, reliable, flexible, and she’ll guide and help you to achieve even your most daring goals! She’s super friendly but effective.
A very important aspect of my training with her was that when life got in the way (as it does!) she was always there, motivating, helping me, and adapting my plan as necessary. She actually listens to you, and this is a rare find.
I highly recommend Tamara as a coach!”

“I highly recommend Tamara und her expertise. I was struggling with phases of low energy and fatigue, especially after workouts. I wondered if i could tackle this with an improved diet. I consulted Tamara and she sent me a detailed nutrition plan and guided me through, explaining why this could for work me, and gave me valuable tips on top I didn’t find anywhere else. I felt and feel so much better after adopting this new habits and nutrition improvements. Thank you so much for your support, positive energy and help! It was a game changer.”

The financial side of an IronMan

Is triathlon and specifically IronMan a sport for the rich and wealthy? A spicy question, isn’t it? Well, I’ll leave it up to you to make your own judgement on this question. In this article, I’m going to share with you what I invested in this undertaking.

My personal Do’s & Don’ts during off-season

The off-season is there to take off my mind from races and challenges and simply run for the pure joy of it. Because I love training, I find the off-season quite challenging at times. So I developed my personal Do’s & Don’t for the off-season to let my body and mind really recuperate.

My top tips for tapering

The final days and weeks before race day can be tough because you need to rest even though you want to train. Here are my top tips to master your taper phase in order to reach peak performance on race day.

Inside the mind of an IronWoman

The mind is my strongest muscle. In this article I’m letting you inside my head. I’ll show you what I keep saying and thinking to myself during endurance challenges.

The message I wanted to send with my self-supported IronMan

Deciding to do an IronMan on my own and self-supported wasn’t an easy one. Through journaling I reminded myself why I embarked on this journey and I discovered that the reason was much bigger than me. Here’s what message I want to send to people.

Countdown to my self-supported IronMan

Here’s a timeline of what went down before my self-supported IronMan.

Why I call it IronMind instead of IronMan

My last race of this season was the IronMan 70.3 in Weymouth. It was brutal and epic. 37 mph winds, thunderstorms and pouring rain. And here’s why I call it IronMind.

What is Guided Meditation?

Inspiration, CBT, Meditation

Guided meditation is another word for ‘hypnosis’ and it’s far from the idea of performance hypnotherapists making people walk and sound like chickens on stage. Thus, that’s why I personally prefer to call it ‘guided meditation’. Find out what it really is and register for a free online guided meditation with me.

My top 3 improvements for my next 1oo km trail run

Trail Running, Ultra

The last part of my 100 km ultra was agonising and all I wanted was a break from running. But as soon as it was over, I started to think about what the top 3 things are I need to work on so I can improve my performance at the next 100 km ultra. Crazy, I know, but it’s the truth.

How does it feel to run a 100 km run?

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is: How does it feel to have run 100 km? Actually, I’ve been asking this question myself for a while now and until recently I didn’t have an answer.

How I split the 100 km course

Ultra, Trail Running

It doesn’t matter how long or short the route is I’m going to run or if I know the course inside out or not, I always split the route into different parts. Here’s how and why I split this 100 km route into the following 6 parts.
