Introducing: The Aid Station

March 28, 2022

Hello Trails Collective! My name is Lauren Burdick.

I live in Fayetteville, NY with my husband and two doodles. I am a certified Nutrition Consultant and certified Running Coach. Over the past year, my husband and I began a small business and I am now co-owner of Miles & Macros, LLC! To have my passion become a business is a dream come true. We offer running coaching, nutrition plans, and we host multiple distance/surface races locally. Diving deeper into the running community in a new capacity has been such a positive experience. As you know, it is hard to find a more welcoming community than the running community. Working with individuals to help them reach their goals has been extremely rewarding.
Personally, I have been a runner for the past 11 years completing numerous distances; however, I found a true connection with trail running over the past 6 years. As I competed in longer endurance events I began to realize the importance of nutrition and fueling enough for an active lifestyle. I hold multiple certifications for nutrition consulting under the realm of sports nutrition, plant based, ketogenic, etc. The importance of nutrition is not limited just to endurance athletes, I also work with many people eager to understand how to choose healthier options or read a nutrition label correctly. I want to create a healthy relationship with food for each individual with the understanding that healthy does not look the same on everyone.
