My first coach almost 40 years ago told us about the 3 most important things in sport, especially at performance levels - rest/sleep - nutrition - training IN THIS ORDER! This is is what he highlighted
Training is pointless if your recovery can't absorb that training and improve your body. I plateaued for 3-4 weeks, Started working on my recovery game, buckled down on getting good quality sleep( blue light screens, taking a cool bath before sleeping to drop core temp ect ect) and doubled down on nutrition. Within 7 days I improved more than the last 4 weeks. The harder you run the even better you need to eat and sleep.
Thank you for the great video. It’s important to note that REDS can affect athletes of all body size. There is often the misconception that only skinny people can suffer from REDS - however, recent research shows that REDS can affect bodies of all size and sometimes can even block weight loss because the body is in such a state of alarm.
Brilliant - thank you for your clarity in teaching RedS and Eating Disorders out in our daily conversations. And a second thanks for including men/young men in the story.
I recognize this so well.Hit the wall very young, I trained hard, often near maximum heart rate, I dieted like 300kg up and down over a period of 15 years or so. Training like mad then gaining weight back (lot's of injuries made me eat a lot). Still feels like every kilometer takes at least 1 minute longer than it should. Chronic fatigued for almost 30 years now. Thanks for the video.
So much emphasis now on keto dieting and intermittent fasting as a key to health. The fitness “experts” pushing this never, ever address endurance athletes….I’ve always wondered how OMAD can serve a distance runner or triathlete.
@George 321# No amount of hydration is going to make up for the shortfall in food. As a regular runner and run some marathons, it would be impossible to complete training let alone the race itself.
I wonder if it’s more a caloric deficiency or a specific ratio of nutrients and vitamins that will be totally different for each person. I def eat enough calories but six donuts a day is enough calories theoretically! Obviously thats going to contribute to reds but I would love an easy global percentage of what to eat a day.
Hi Mia, keto absolutely works for endurance, but you might need to commit to it more than just trying it, as it can take a few months to be fully adapted to using fat as a body fuel if done properly for long runs. Good luck.
What to do, when a female athlete is taking Birth controll and you dont know if she really has a cycle.. is it good to take the birth controll in this stage, Do you have any advice?
I just healed from some injuries and strated running i need to loose weigh but im scared to not go to that low energy state where i wont recover good pls help

Thank you guys this is vital and new to me, not talked or covered anywhere in my experience
You're most welcome Jon!
Thank you for sharing a really informative, helpful video. Much appreciated to gain more insight into RED-S and eating disorders.
Great video. Very educating and eye-opening. Thank you.
Thank you. This was an incredibly responsible video for you to make, and very thorough. I appreciate it.
Very important topic. I do appreciate the explanation on recovery, sleep and cravings
Thank you so much for this video! It is such an important topic to understand and probably not talked about nearly enough!
Thank you guys
Thank you so much
Great video, thank you.
Thanks a lot for all your great work. Anything to say regarding heart rate variability and RED-S?

By metabolizing your body fat as an energy source. It really works.
Fat is a much better fuel for endurance, it's the reason we carry it on our body!
Personally I don't see how you can do OMAD and be a distance runner without running into problems.
@@fattysl26 It takes a bit of practice but is doable with adequate hydration.

This is what happend to me years of years of low calorie diets and hard trainings😢 how to cure??!!

This happened to me because of trying low carb diets

Limit sugar, limit performance
What to do, when a female athlete is taking Birth controll and you dont know if she really has a cycle.. is it good to take the birth controll in this stage, Do you have any advice?
I constantly struggle to balance in and out and think I’m too fat for how much I run, I’m more afraid of under eating though
I just healed from some injuries and strated running i need to loose weigh but im scared to not go to that low energy state where i wont recover good pls help
I ate 1 bowl of hot rice mix with water only before running.. my energy is at the peak.. i dont need chocolate or anything fancy to fuel my body
Its for every single human on the planet. Its happening to people at work. Thyroids are dying coz of a lack of iodine in the diet
