On this episode of Making HER Runner we chat to Dietician and competitive Triathlete, Mariella Sawyer and explore the basics of fuelling the female runner.It's not atypical for women to have complex relationships with food and when many women's first experience with running is for weight-loss, it can seem impossible to fuel and achieve your goals simultaneously.In this "real-talk" style conversation, we touch on the most common struggles that women encounter. We discuss: female physiology and hormonesstigmas, the danger of training for aesthetics only and the female athlete triadfood groups: macro and micro-nutrientsnutrient timing"fuelling for the work required"and a brief overview of how major life changes like puberty and pregnancy effect the female athlete.We would love to take a deeper dive into these topic and encourage you to reach out with your questions, email us [email protected] more information on our partnership with The Red Movement visit: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvZa2RuKyLU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==and https://www.instagram.com/the_red_movement_/To pledge a cup for R100 - https://www.zapper.com/payWithZapper/?qr=http%3A%2F%2F2.zap.pe%3Ft%3D6%26i%3D54377%3A81857%3A7%5B34%7C0%3A10%5B39%7CZAR%2C38%7CMaking%20Her%20Runner%20x%20The%20Red%20Movement
