Ep 74: Mastering the Highs and Lows: Navigating the Transvulcania Race Experience
We are officially in trail racing season! This episode contains a lot of valuable information. Keely discusses a couple of recent studies. The first study focuses on master’s level trail runners and body image, while the second covers the performance detriments associated with Low Energy Availability in female athletes. Then Corrine and Hillary delve into race results, covering the Cocodona 250, Tillamook Burn weekend, Transvulcania, and some UTMB races. After that, they all reflect on their respective races at Transvulcania, discussing the highs and lows, mental health going into the race, and fueling wins and losses. Finally, they end with some society slams and advice for female athletes navigating health challenges. Sign up for the studies we talked about below!
