We catch up on the racing and news from the weekend. Louise Saggers won the free race entry to IRONMAN Cairns. We found out how her day went. We share Lionel Sander's YouTube video which centres on his recent experiences with injuries, particularly stress fractures. Lionel tells us what he's now learned about relative energy deficiency in athletes and the impact on hormonal health. Relative energy deficiency can significantly impact athletic performance and stress fractures are often linked to energy deficiencies. Nutrition plays a crucial role in recovery and overall health and understanding the importance of the body's energy needs is vital for performance. Christine Byrne has a Masters in Public Health Nutrition and is a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist. We talk to her about her work as an ‘Anti Diet Dietitian' and her article ‘Eating Healthy Might be Hurting Your Performance'. The conversation explores the complexities of eating disorders, particularly in the context of amateur sports and athletic performance. It highlights the spectrum of eating disorders, the rise of orthorexia and the importance of understanding the relationship between nutrition and performance. The discussion emphasizes that athletes often face unique challenges regarding caloric intake and the misconception of 'clean eating' which may hinder their performance.
