How to be faster and healthier as a female runner

Running is very inclusive and just about anybody can participate
with not much more than a decent pair of running shoes. This
doesn’t mean that we all have the same experience though and
today’s show will be all about special considerations for female
athletes.


In this episode, coaches Andie and Hayley do an amazing job of
breaking down how female athletes can perform their best.
Whatever your age or lifestyle, they’ll be diving into how you
can stay healthy, happy, and fit as a female runner. This is a
pretty broad topic so we’ll be covering everything from:


How to train around the menstrual cycle

Specific fueling needs for female athletes

Why fasted runs may not be recommended 

Why losing your period can be a warning sign for runners and
what to do if this happens to you

And many more topics I’m confident you’ll relate to if you’re
a female runner 



We think you’ll find this topic super interesting whether you’re
a female runner yourself or not so stay tuned for expert tips on
successful training as a female athlete.

runners. Unlike towels, they are 100% waterproof and easily fit
over your entire seat so you don’t have any missed spots.
