Nutrition & Endurance Gear Partners/Affiliations for Athletes

The right nutrition, hydration, and gear can make a huge difference in both training and racing. At Trail Addiction Coaching, we’ve spent years testing products in real endurance environments — long mountain runs, hot race days, cold alpine missions, and multi-hour training sessions. Through this experience, we’ve partnered only with brands we genuinely trust and use ourselves. These companies support our athletes by offering reliable performance products, generous discounts, and gear that holds up when it matters most.

Real Health Sports Nutrition – Fuel, Hydrate, Recover

Trail Addiction Coaching is proud to partner with Real Health Sports Nutrition (RHSN), founded by performance nutritionist Hannah Presswood.

Hannah is a New Zealand-based sports nutritionist specialising in endurance athletes. RHSN's work centres on matching energy intake with training load so athletes can adapt, stay injury-free, and perform at their best over the long term. She combines performance data, sweat testing, carbohydrate planning, and practical day-to-day diet optimisation to help athletes train harder, recover faster, and race confidently.

Through RHSN, athletes learn how to:

  • Fuel training properly (so sessions actually count)

  • Prevent low energy availability and RED-S

  • Improve race-day execution with structured nutrition and hydration planning

  • Optimise hydration and electrolyte balance

  • Train the gut to handle higher carbohydrate loads

  • Improve performance without compromising health

RHSN’s philosophy is simple:

EAT. PERFORM. RECOVER.
The more you eat, the more you can train.

As an RHSN Affiliated Coach, Bernard works alongside Hannah to ensure Trail Addiction athletes receive integrated training and nutrition support. Training and fuelling go hand in hand — and when both are aligned, performance improves.

If you’re serious about getting the most out of your training while protecting your health, RHSN provides the nutrition strategy to match the miles.
