-why middle- and back-of-pack runners are at risk of RED-S;
-signs of underfueling to be on the alert for;
-pre-workout snacks and post-run food suggestions; and,
-how to get on the road to resilience.
Before the dietitian joins around 11:31, Sarah laughingly shares the saga of a birthday card from her son.
