Episode 83: Period Products at Races, Birth Control Use in Female Endurance Athletes and Mental Strategies to Cope with a DNF Sep 24, 2024

In this episode Keely, Corrine, and Hillary start it off by diving into some races, including Run Rabbit Run, The Rut, and The Golden Trail Series. Then they discuss both the lack of period products and porta-potties for women at TDS and how that may have impacted women runners.

For the rest of the episode they tackle two issues. First, they talk through the mental side of dropping out of or choosing not to start a race, how to give yourself some grace, and when to pull the plug. Whether you choose to drop at mile 5 or mile 95 of a one hundred mile race, your decision is valid and we must learn to be okay with them. Then, they discuss a new article out by Ryall and team looking at the distribution of birth control use among female endurance athletes. This study highlights the popularity of hormonal IUD’s in athletics but the lack of research on the effects of this form of birth control on performance.

Episode 72: Breaking Barriers in Female Athlete Health: A Conversation with Dr. Emily Kraus Apr 23, 2024

In Episode 72, we are joined by Dr. Emily Kraus, a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford Children's Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. She is trained in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) sports medicine and is also the director of the FASTR program.
