Periods, hormones and running
Cara’s had a tough week this week, struggling with tiredness and lack of motivation. She’s also been craving Cream Eggs like nobody’s business. The prime suspect is that old buzzkill, the menstrual cycle. This gets us chatting about the phases of our periods, how to track them and how tricky understanding our bodies can be.
5K nutrition
She’s also been generally hungrier since the start of this training journey, so it’s time to talk about fuelling. What should we be eating before a run and how long do we need to wait before we go out? We offer Cara some advice before sending her off with a brand new running journal.
