This week we have gender-specific articles with a couple of articles on female physiology and one on male eating disorders. There’s also a short piece on support runners and some great articles on ways to improve your running performance that don’t necessarily involve physical activity, it’s all in the mind.
Finally, we have a health-related article by our very own Karina Teahan on how to manage calf injuries, one of the most common injuries a runner can experience.
Enjoy.
