In this episode, we chat to Dr Juliet McGrattan, author, speaker and former GP, about running and alcohol.

 

We answer all the common questions, such as:

- is a daily glass of red wine really good for our health?

- is that post-race beer helpful?

- can you sweat out a hangover?

- how does alcohol affect sleep quality and recovery?

- is there a safe amount of alcohol consumption for athletes that won’t hinder training or performance?

- how does alcohol impact our hormones?

 

NEW - Stay tuned for our newest feature, Myth Buster, where we tackle common misconceptions.

 

You can follow Dr Juliet McGrattan on Instagram
