May 01, 2023 Episode 8 - Per Christian
This was a great call with this endurance athlete from Norway. Just hearing about him suffering with 3 stress fractures back in 2022 makes you think how tough running can be for people. He gave an in depth review of his last few years and how he is trying to become a better athlete. He has inspired me so much these past few months as he has suffered with more injuries than me but the fact he gets back out there is amazing. He is still a massive lover of the elliptical and still uses it during his training to reduce the stress placed on his body. He feels stronger in the gym putting on this weight and mentally in such a good place. Please follow along this series because I want to make sure everyone is happy with where they are both mentally and physically

April 24, 2023 Episode 7 - Anonymous
I have spoken to this amazing person who speaks about their time suffering with RED-S. She has recently been going through the rehab of a stress fracture in her foot and gives an insight into the anxieties is has caused. She speaks about her personal experiences with food and how it’s affected her mental and physical health. By speaking about all these different things she also gives an impression of what youngsters should now be doing to prevent suffering with RED-S further. I have loved speaking to her because she has been an inspiration during her journey. She first got in contact with me when I opened up about suffering with RED-S and now it seems she is in a much better place and looking ahead to the future with the aim of bringing down her personal bests. I hope you enjoy this chat….

April 17, 2023 Episode 6 - Nina Chydenius
Speaking to this Finnish athlete was inspiring. The mother of two children suffered with anorexia, depression and RED-S for over 10 years. She mentions about her time in America struggling with the demands of training in the pool due to under-fuelling her body. She speaks about suffering with mental health issues and ending up in hospital for 6 months not feeling herself. She talks about picking up 7 stress fractures in the space of 7 years and the battles she has had to overcome to ensure a healthier life. With her family being a massive inspiration to her sport, she has progressively brought her times down over the last few years and wants to be the best Finnish runner there is. It was honestly inspiring to hear her speak about the whole aspect of running understanding the values of mental health. I loved speaking to her and I hope you can follower her journey further

April 10, 2023 Episode 5 - Jackson Long
This episode entails a short outlook into what I have been up to in this recent weeks. I quickly explain how RED-S has affected me further before analysing my first training week and what I am looking forward to in the future. After this short part, I then spoke to Jackson Long, MS SENr who is an accredited sports nutritionist and endurance coach based in the mountain of Idaho. He specializes in plant-based nutrition and helping mountain athletes fuel the flow of meaningful movement. Learn more at intheflownutrition.com or his podcast In The Flow. It was amazing to hear his stories and the importance of working with his clients trying to push their limits. This is a must listen episode.

April 03, 2023 Episode 4 with Pippa Woolven and Rowan Preece
In this episode I spoke to Pippa Woollen and Rowan Preece. Pippa has a high pedigree of cross country running representing GB at the 2019 World Cross Country Championships back in Denmark. Moving to America at a young age she first noticed that she wasn't fuelling correctly and therefore tried to understand the problems arising around this. When struggling with this "energy deficiency" problem she started to struggle with her running and uni work which affected her mental health. Move forward a few years this inspirational woman showed the world that it was possible to come back from this problem on the stronger side where she ended up winning BUCS Cross Country and went on to represent GB on many occasions. She is also the founder of @project_red_s_ and hopes to raise further awareness of this condition. Rowan Preece also struggled with this problem and we dive into how this affected him at university. He brings up some instances and rituals he was doing for years which weren't healthy but now this new teacher has fought his way through in a positive manner being happier then ever. Rowan was the first male athlete I had ever heard of who first spoke out about this condition back in 2018 and it was inspiring to see. Still loving the sport he goes down to all the events to support his mates. Although, we do need him to wear a pair of the "super shoes" one day :)!
