What People Are Saying About Nancy Clark:

	Nancy-- I really want to thank you for all of the advice and information you gave me in our meeting last month. I have noticed a tremendous difference in the way I feel both with running and just during the day. I really think this has helped me alot!! The amount of advice you gave me in that one session really has made a huge impact thus far!!! Best regards, Caroline, US Olympic Trails Marathon Qualifier -------
	Nancy-- I want to thank you again for your nutrition coaching and guidance. After meeting with you and applying everything I learned, I went on to have a successful season thus far. I first qualified for the World Half Iron Championships, then I PR'd by 30 minutes at my Ironman in Germany and qualified for the Hawaii IM. I worked so hard physically this year, but nutrition was the final piece and I learned so much from you. I feel like I finally had some good races. I am also 7 lbs. lighter, and more confident with my body. Sincerely, Jen Scalise, triathlete -------

	Nancy-- I want to let you know how well I did in my race on Sunday- better than I expected! The race was 10 miles and I was hoping to complete it in 1 hour and 40 minutes; I finished in 1 hour 28 minutes! I was sooo glad! I had wheat toast with honey and egg whites at 6:00 in the morning and then a banana and peanut butter an hour before the race. I felt really good the whole race; it was a great experience! You have helped me tremendously, and I can't wait to see you again! Sincerely, Andrea Cote -------

	Dear Nancy, Thank you for all the excellent advice you gave me during my visit with you. I PR'd by 15 minutes at the Boston Marathon and I feel that your advice made the difference ... I was well fueled! This demonstrated to me how important nutrition is. Sincerely, Cara -------

	Dear Nancy, I just wanted to let you know about the success of my new and improved sports diet since we met two months ago. I feel so much better now and I have so much more energy. I'm eating more calories earlier in the day and drinking less coffee. I never feel really hungry. The best part is the food changes have a positive effect upon my running. I recently set a PR!! Thank you for all of your help and support. Your recommendations were excellent and just what I needed. Sincerely, Amy ------- Nancy, I just completed my 8th marathon and I felt great before, during and after. I re-read my nutrition bible (your Food Guide for Marathoners) before I began training and then, again, as the marathon approached. You made eating simple, nutritious, delicious and effective! Even my recovery got on the fast track. Thanks for making nutrition-for-marathoners something that us mere mortals can incorporate into our lives with ease! Kathy Ball-Toncic -------
