This episode is a Q&A episode where I answer questions that have been submitted by listeners.
Questions for today’s episode include:
- I’m a collegiate runner and want to know how to fuel for 3k, 5k and 10k races. Do you have any tips, especially when it comes to hydration as I tend to get a sloshy stomach before my races?
- I’m a collegiate runner and recently learned that I’ve been under fueling. I usually eat when I’m hungry, but now I know I need more fuel than that. Do you have a fueling structure or schedule you recommend to help with this?
- I’m a 40 year old active female who lifts and runs regularly. I’ve been using creatine but haven’t noticed a big difference. Should I increase my dose and if so at what rate?
- I’m going through the process of RED-S recovery and I’m really struggling as a runner. I haven’t had my period for 6 years, I have low ferritin, and all of my runs feel awful. Is this just part of RED-S recovery, or do you have any advice for overcoming these issues? Will I ever be able to perform the way I used to?
Thanks so much to everyone who has submitted questions so far! If you would like to submit a question for future episodes, you can do so on my website HERE or email me at [email protected].
