from Running long - A trail and ultra running talk · host Vert.run
In this episode Francesco is joined by coach Andy for a conversation around weight, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, eating disorders and body image in endurance athletes and endurance sports, particularly trail running. We give some facts and figures and we share our own thoughts and experiences with these issues. We’re glad that they are becoming less and less of a taboo, but there’s still a lot to be done to prevent them and to help the athletes and the coaches and build a better training and sport ecosystem in general. _______________________ Follow @vert.run on IG Download our app and sign up to our training plans on vert.run You can send us a message with any questions for us or for our guests! https://anchor.fm/vertrun/message Francesco's links: Instagram | Twitter | Strava | Website
