Episode 7: Tina Muir and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)
Tina Muir who is a British International elite runner living in St Louis, Missouri, a keynote speaker, and host of the Running For Real Podcast, which has amassed three and a half million downloads. Tina founded Running For Real in 2017 as a support network and community for runners to have a place to share struggles and empower other runners.
This show delves into Tina’s experience as an elite, 2:36 marathoner, in particular:
– Not having a period for nine years, called amenorrhea, then realizing she had disordered eating.
– The broader concept of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), plus the warning signs and what to do about it. This is especially relevant for female athletes, but the over-training and under-eating elements apply to everyone.
– Life beyond competitive road running, including trails and adventure racing.
– Her business, Running For Real, and her podcast.
Tina Muir is on Twitter, Instagram and her Running for Real Facebook group is very active. We mention a couple of resources in our discussion: Her podcast with Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani and her nutrition page.
