The Elite Trail Team, a trail and mountain running team, has partnered with science-focused nutrition brand Nduranz.
Doug Stewart, ETT Founder and Performance Director, said “We wanted to find a nutrition partner that provides a wide range of products to enable our athletes to perform at their best, with fuel that makes sense in training and racing.
“Our sport requires great attention to nutrition, so we worked closely with the team’s high performance dietitian to identify a brand that provided high-quality, Informed Sport batch tested products, and also shared our values and our science-based approach.”
Valentin Gorsek, Founder/CEO of Nduranz, added “The ETT and Nduranz share the same values and approach to fuelling. Our common goal is to provide athletes with nutrition that makes sense and empowers them to perform at their best. In the complex world of ultra-trail running, simplicity in fuelling is crucial. With Nduranz, ETT runners will have exactly that.
“We are thrilled to support the Elite Trail Team on their journey and to actively contribute to the growth of trail running, a sport that continues to expand and teaches us valuable lessons about fuelling in the most challenging conditions.”
The ETT already partners with nutrition app Hexis, which provides periodised nutrition plans for the team’s athletes. Adding Nduranz continues a focus on the athletes’ health and wellbeing, with particular attention paid to healthy, science-based approaches to fuelling.
ETT high performance dietitian Rebecca Dent said “Nduranz focus on simplicity and fuelling that makes sense. In a space that’s complex, trail and ultra runners need just that: clear, targeted nutrition products that are backed by robust and relevant research. It’s a really exciting partnership and I look forward to seeing our athletes’ results soon.”
The Elite Trail Team is made up of 14 elite athletes from across Europe. Some have represented their countries on European and World competition stages, while many have podiumed at, or won, some of the marquee events in trail and ultra running. The team offers athletes support with a multidisciplinary crew of coaches, nutrition, psychology, sleep, and physiology experts.
