Episode 12 - Vladya Reverdin

Running with RED-S

Again what a call and I am very fortunate to have such amazing people come on to the show to talk about the experiences they have had struggling with RED-S and training. Vladya first got in touch with me a week back to tell me that she had been struggling with RED-S and a foot fracture. She had been struggling with her menstrual cycle for a couple of years and finds that not allowing or restricting herself from such important food may have impacted her in such a bad way. Unfortunately, in March she picked up this stress fracture and mentioned feeling awful a few weeks back as she felt it would take a long time for her to get back into shape. She works 9-5 in a stressful job and felt as though this has impacted on her training plus recovery which just pushed her to her limit. Before speaking to a nutritionist and doctor she had little practices in mind whereby she would only eat her first meal at midday, not eat before training and sometimes not really socialise with friends. However, now putting more research into this topic and speaking to more people she is in a much happier place and is invested in triathlon training with the idea of racing. Again what an amazing talk and I really hope you enjoy it. Her instagram is: @Vladya Reverdin
