Education from Fastr
Iron
Proper fueling is crucial for performance and health. As endurance athletes, it is essential to be getting adequate nutrients and protein in your diet to have energy, to avoid putting yourself at risk for common injuries, and to maintain healthy menstrual cylces while training.
Nutrition
Low energy levels can be associated with to little iron intake. This is especially common among menstruating endurance athletes, and can put athletes at risk for problems associated with RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports).
Menstrual Cylce
Athletes should be maintaining regular menstruation while training. Losing your period may be an indication of improper nutrition and iron, and could also lead to long-term health impacts.
