Podcast: Disordered Eating in Runners with Stronger Stride

In this podcast, I sit down with Lydia and Sophie from Stronger Stride and discuss an array of topics within the world of nutrition for runners and our relationship with food.

We talk about the difference between Disordered Eating and an Eating Disorder, some red flags to lookout for and the implications of under fuelling on performance and bone health.

Some of the topics covered include;

• Power to weight ratio
• Intuitive eating vs planned for performance goals
• Fitting processed gels into a predominately 'wholefood' diet
• Fibre and gut comfort during races
• Fuelling for long runs
• Diet culture and body image in sport
• Cravings and hunger cues for athletes
• Using food as a reward and running to earn food

Listen as we shine a light on some topics that are often swept under the rug.
