In this Q&A episode, I answer questions that have been submitted by listeners.

Today's questions include:

• Why do runners get side cramps and how can you avoid them?
• What advice do you have for high school coaches for helping athletes continue to run and train if they have a history or past of disordered eating? How do you balance training along with long term health?
• How can I handle triggering comments from relatives and friends who don't run?
• I notice that whenever I get my period, my running takes a nosedive and I struggle with hard workouts because my legs feel really heavy. Is there anything I can do?

If you want to join me in NYC on Saturday November 1st for a pre-race shakeout before the NYC Marathon, you can learn more about it HERE.
