S2|E19 - MHR - Running & Your Menstrual Cycle: The Good, The Bad & The Beautiful with Emma Pallant-Browne


Listen Later

If you have ever struggled to stick to a training plan because of your period, this episode is for you!

It's true what they say "women can do anything that men can do; while bleeding too", nothing epitomises that statement more than the viral photograph of Emma Pallant-Browne, captured during the run leg of a Triathlon with period blood visible on her Trisuit.

Of course she could've selected another photograph to share or even cropped out the "incriminating" area, but why would she when "its a natural and beautiful thing?".

In this episode of Making HER Runner, we take a deep dive into the good, the bad and the beautiful world of training as a female athlete. The topics we cover include:

  • The complex relationship between fuelling, training and the menstrual cycle.
  • Eating issues, body weight and the affects on performance.
  • Injuries, over-training and cross-training.
  • How to train and race on your period.
  • Practical tips for managing menstrual symptoms.
  • Menstrual cups vs tampons.
  • The world of racing Triathlons and how to get into Tri as a beginner.

These kind of conversations are flipping the narrative and challenging stigmas around female health. Thank you Emma, for your bravery and your honesty!
