Saskia is a full-time doctor, elite HYROX athlete and lifelong
runner — and in this episode we get into how she balances
high-level training with a demanding medical career.

We talk about her journey from running at nine years old to
competing at an elite level, the impact of stress fractures and
RED-S, strength training, nutrition, the female menstrual cycle,
performance pressure, and what it's really like trying to train
around long days and night shifts.
