Aspire fueling guides
Eleven guides, four bundles, and one free cheat sheet — every fueling decision of a season, written by a registered dietitian who is also a working head cross country coach. Coaches bring it to the whole program; families can start tonight.

How the system fits together
Every guide points one step up, never two. Start where this week hurts.
The Race Morning Cheat Sheet proves the system in one page — every race-morning number, built backward from the gun.
Single guides answer one urgent problem — race week, hot practices, a nervous stomach — for $17–$29.
Bundles cover a whole role: the race-week family, the worried parent, the self-driven athlete, the coach with no spare hours.
If your coach hasn’t brought Aspire to the team yet, the guides and bundles are the fastest start today. Direct Parent Access ($119/year or $14/month) — the full family library, tools, and seasonal parent emails — is opening soon.
The main event. $590/year covers your whole roster — every guide, the coach portal, team print rights, and a team code that gives every family the parent-side resources at home.
Start free
Free · one email, no catch
The free one-pager that makes race morning boring — on purpose.
Free download: the full race-morning table — main meal 3–4 hours out, optional top-off at 2, last hit about 45 minutes before, fluids on a schedule — plus a nervous-stomach plan and the rule that outranks every number: nothing new on race day. A short mini-guide shows how to run it for any start time.

When a good runner goes flat, the answer isn’t “be tougher” — and it isn’t the supplement aisle.

Want the whole family library, the tools, and the seasonal parent emails — without buying guide by guide? That’s Parent Access — $119/year or $14/month, opening soon as the family fallback when your coach hasn’t brought Aspire to the team yet. Until then, the bundles above are the fastest way in.
For coaches and programs
You teach five periods and drive the van. This side of the library is a rollout system, not a reading list.
The first of the Team Fueling Manual’s five scripted team talks, free: the whole team-nutrition philosophy in one sentence, and the one assignment that starts a well-fueled season. Read it to your roster this week.

Have a team code?
If your coach or program runs Aspire, the code they shared unlocks the family-facing guides, tools, and team resources — no purchase needed. Create your free account with the code to get started. (Team codes unlock family resources; coach materials stay with your coaching staff.)
Join with your team codeThe two “everything” offers
The fallback path: if your coach brings Aspire to the program later, families join through the team code instead.

Buying guidance
No. Ask your coach for the team code — it unlocks the family-facing guides, tools, and shared team resources at no cost to you. Coach-side materials stay with your coach.
Start with the free Race Morning Cheat Sheet. If one problem is urgent, a single guide solves it this week. The bundles cover a whole job for the season. Direct Parent Access ($119/year or $14/month) — the full family library and the tools — is opening soon.
Most programs should start with Program Access ($590/year) — it includes all eleven guides for roster use plus the coach portal and rollout system. The Team Bundle ($79) is the test drive if you want to try the books first.
No. Every guide is general fueling education for healthy adolescent athletes. There are no supplement protocols, no doses, and no diagnosis anywhere in the library — symptoms, labs, and eating concerns route to physicians and qualified professionals, on the page, every time.
The designed, print-ready editions are being finished now. Request access and you’ll get the guide the moment it ships — you won’t be charged until it’s ready to deliver.
