When stories about elite level women runners include missing their periods for months or years it can’t be too healthy.
So tired of everyone’s problems. Man or woman up and eat better ....see that was easy. Have an issue? Here’s a tissue.
Is that like eating dinner before breakfast, or nuts before soup?
Nope, the guys will be charged with harassment and weightism.
Nope, don’t do it. You’ll just get blamed and/or be in a lawsuit.
Paywall means I can’t read it to know what she ran-long distance, middle distance or sprints. I’d guess that she was a distance runner. In my experience those were the girls/women battling control issues like that.
Sprinters not so much. Perhaps it’s due to how the different types of exercise affects hormones? Distance runners in my day didn’t do much in the weight room other than low weight high reps. Sprinters, however, hit the weights hard and build up a fairly high amount of muscle mass for a female. That along with the radically different types of training must impact body chemistry. Hormones affect us so much-as one who has an autoimmune disorder that impacts the thyroid I’ve learned just how much hormones can influence our thought processes.
Many years ago, I reffed high school volleyball. There was a player who was player of the year in her district when she was a junior, but didn’t even make honorable mention her senior year because of an eating disorder.
Forever grateful that I never developed a ‘taste’ for cigarettes or hard liquor and that I never lost my ‘taste’ for yummy foodstuffs. ;) (Army Training, Sir!)
All of my Nieces were very athletic and very motivated to WIN during their high school and now college years. Those girls could out-eat ANY of the men at the table. Tall, thin, healthy and gorgeous, all! :)
