Relative Energy Deficiency In Sport (RED-S), or chronic
underfuelling, can have very serious health and performance
consequences.
We are joined by Dr. Alex Coates, former elite ITU triathlete and
current professor of Exercise Physiology who's research has focused
on what happens when we push too far or when we recover
insufficiently from training. Alex educates us on the consequences
of RED-S and how to make sure we are fuelling well for heath and
performance.
This episode was originally released in 2021, and I'll said it then
and I'll say it again: Folks, this is a must-listen! RED-S is NOT
“just an eating disorder” and doesn’t “just affect women” - this
information is important for everyone. Give it a listen!
This episode is hosted by Jessica O'Connell, MSc, CSEP-CEP, OLY, and Faye Stenning, BKin, and coaches at Grit Coaching! We offer custom run and strength training for runners, OCR, and hybrid athletes. Check us out!
