From Underfueled to 100-Mile Finisher: How This Athlete Regained Trust in her Body

In episode 110 of the Eat for Endurance podcast, host Claire Shorenstein sits down with ultrarunner, author, podcaster, and adventure seeker, Angie Marie. 

From her early days in karate and track to ultrarunning and gravel bike racing later on, Angie shares her evolving relationship with food and body. She opens up about her struggles with orthorexia, how a surprise ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery served as a wake up call, and how this ultimately led her to change the way she moves, fuels herself, and adventures outdoors.

We cover:

• The impact of diet culture and misinformation on young female athletes
• Struggling with mental blocks and fear of failure in high school and beyond
• Overcoming underfueling, stress fractures, and distrust in her body
• Coping with anxiety and PTSD following her experience at the Boston Marathon bombings
• A health crisis that led her to become a “menstrual cycle nerd” and to reconnect with her body
• Embracing intuitive eating as part of her healing process, while also eating with purpose as an endurance athlete
• How she fuels for ultramarathons, gravel bike races, and other adventures
• Her goal to have the most fun, not to go the fastest or the farthest

We also discuss:

• How to stay well nourished when traveling frequently 
• Quick lunches on busy days
• How to boost ferritin and vitamin D

I hope you enjoy this episode!
