In It For The Long Run

Hi

Hi

Hi

WELCOME BACKK!! So glad to have you back, we’ve loved every single episode so far this season and our favourite part about this episode was being able to give our true opinions unapologetically on SO many different viewpoints and our experiences with them - body neutrality, body dysmorphia, “my body is the least interesting thing about me”, body confidence fluctuations, our insecurities and of course our 2 recommendations!!

Hi, here we are, 1 year on … This journey has been far from easy over the past few months since we were last here talking about it (last season) but we’ve made a lot of progress mentally and physically, and we want to share this with you as we believe that seeing other people in a similar situation come out the other side is a massive confidence boost and can really spur you on to start recovery. Recovery is the best decision we ever made, and we hope for nothing more than for you to make that decision too. We all DESERVE food freedom. We love you ❤️❤️

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode!! This week we felt as though we needed a huge discussion on the many challenges we face as athletes trying to balance so many different aspects of life (and often failing) so join us in this episode where we (try) to combat these issues and enlighten you with our opinions about different topics and issues within athletics as a whole. This was a much needed chat and it was a good one ❤️❤️ instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast

HEY GUYS!! We’re beyond excited to be back. We’ve been looking forward to this for months and we have so much to update you on, it’s been a mad year! We can’t wait for everyone to be back on the journey with us!! Also hope you like the new cover art 🥰

In today’s episode we have Jiya join us! She is so knowledgable about menstrual health, especially in athletes. We talk about the basics of the female athlete triad, her journey with hypothalamic amenorrhoea due to her eating disorder and exercise addiction, everything that has changed for the better since regaining her period, advice for athletes to have a healthy period and also advice for coaches! She has worked with 2 doctors from India and Chicago to put together a very informative website which condenses all the science behind period loss in a very - easy to understand - way so be sure to check it out! And of course, fill out her survey (it only takes around 2 minutes!!)

Thanks for tuning into this weeks episode!

We give you an update on Katie’s discovery after last weeks doctor’s visit and being treated like a “pin cushion” and discuss her dad’s race (the Lakeland 100 miler) and then jump straight into our future race bucket list including the Mount Everest Marathon (!!!!) and the Midnight Sun Marathon in Norway where it is light for the entire day! Hopefully you can get some ideas from us and add them to your own racing bucket list and in a world post COVID and when we’re a lot older, we could even do some of these races together!!

We also included your race bucket list at the end of the episode so listen out for that!

In the meantime, me sure to catch up with all of our other episodes!!

Hi guys, welcome back to another episode! For this week’s episode we have a repeat guest on but this time, it’s us discussing a topic that is very close to our hearts; dropout rate in sport. It’s affected us all at one point or another, whether that be losing friends because they chose to quit, injuries, us putting too much pressure on ourselves or just finding it stressful to fit everything into our lives. This is a huge issue within sport that somehow needs to be changed so that everyone can be “in it for the long run”.
