Drawing from personal anecdotes and professional insights, Alex highlights the significant risks associated with under-fueling and the surprising lack of risks tied to over-fueling. This revelation is vital for athletes who may succumb to pressures for an 'ideal' physique, often leading to detrimental health outcomes such as RED-S, which can severely impact performance and well-being. Plus, a conversation with top age grouper and soon to be professional Maia Watson. She shares what it has been like to undertake her journey to the upper echelons of our sport in a short time.
