Jereny Rivera is back on Road to the Trials and she has an important story to share. At the beginning of this year Jereny was experiencing significant physical symptoms that were impacting her training and her life. Extreme fatigue, hair loss, brittle finger nails, and loss of motivation were among them. These physical symptoms soon began weighing on her mental and emotional wellbeing. After months of searching for an answer she finally found one - low ferritin.
In this episode, Jereny details the process she went through, why runners (especially female runners) can be prone to low ferritin/iron levels, how she is rebounding, and much more. We also talk about here journey back to racing and what she may have up her sleeve for the California International Marathon next month.
