This podcast will go through how RED-S has impacted me both mentally and physically in my running career so far. Will explain the different training camps I have been on previously and what I’m looking to do in the future. Will also try and bring on athletes to speak more about this topic. The main aim is to make this whole podcast quite enjoyable for listeners!
In today’s episode I will be answering a further 6 questions that were sent in by you guys a month back. I talk about my nutrition, calorie intake and my headspace towards gaining this weight since struggling with RED-S. I give examples of when I struggled mentally with this weight gain but in the long term how beneficial it has been towards my sporting goals and life goals. Hope you enjoy this podcast and comment below if you would like to hear anything more….

Episode 1 - 2026 Version
Idea of this series is to answer all the questions sent through Instagram and Facebook. In each episode I will answer only a few questions. This means I can really share my experiences and honest opinions. Hope you enjoy and the questions answered in this episode are the following:
1) What is RED-S and the main symptoms?
2) How do you know if you are eating enough as an athlete?
3) How long do it take to start feeling physical improvements in life?
4) Can RED-S occur even if the athlete isn’t lean?
5) Does RED-s affect your max HR?
6) What do you do with the voices in your head telling you that you need to lose weight?
7) How do you convince yourself that you are worthy of food?
Let me know if you enjoyed the episode? If this keeps improving and people enjoying it I may ask people to come on and share their thoughts once more. Enjoy

Episode 18 - Jake Smith my story
On this weeks episode I just talk about my history struggling with food and overtraining. I want to explain how it had affected my life not allowing myself the food it has needed. I speak about Uganda and various other holidays where they have been spoiled due to not eating sufficient calories. I don’t count calories and haven’t weighed myself since my foot stress fracture which has made me incredibly happy. My training is increasing each week which means that the nutrition needs to also increase to compensate for the calories burned. I just wanted to use this show to explain how hard it can be to train and keep it together even when it’s your job. I really hope you enjoy this episode!
