8. Training, injury and IVF updates. PLUS: are you eating too much sugar?

So… bonus episodes are not bonus if we record 2 a week anyway?!

In this episode we provided updates for where we are in training, where we are with our injuries and IVF treatments. We talked about our workout (that morning) which was supposed to be 4 downhill miles at goal marathon pace. After not knowing if we could even attempt this workout, we kept it to a 3 miles instead of 4, and ended up using 60/30 intervals and ran faster than GMP! P.S. Use code AMBASSADOR23 for 10% off of Jeff’s race in Atlanta! Walk or run 13.1 or 3.1 or come do the challenge with us - both or virtual!

We talk about our weight gain, and the myth of “racing weight”. We take a deep dive into this article about sugar from MyFitnessPal - “8 signs you are eating too much sugar” - the crazy thing is all of these signs/symptoms could also be indicative of RED-s. One “sign” they noted was mood - we mentioned this study showing exercise/physical activity as effective as antidepressants (although medications have their place and purpose!) Another “symptom” was skin issues - a good place to give you the link to our brand affiliation with Beauty Counter - our source for safe skin! If you still think you are eating too much sugar, get a blood test - have your doctor check your Fasting Blood Sugar and hemoglobin A1C (or HbA1c). If both are in normal levels, sugar is not the issue.
