Active folks concerned about getting enough energy to fuel their workouts properly will appreciate the insight and advice in this episode. The guest is Becca McConville, M.S., a sports dietitian and author of Finding Your Sweet Spot: How to Avoid RED-S (Relative Energy Deficit in Sport) by Optimizing Your Energy Balance. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, Becca explains:
-what RED-S is, and how to avoid it;
-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.
