Spencer Matthews, Oli Patrick and Dr Hazel Wallace unpack what female runners really need to know about hormones, performance and training.They challenge the idea of rigid “cycle syncing”, explaining why the evidence isn't as clear-cut as social media suggests, and why being aware of your cycle may be more useful than changing your training around it.Plus, they tackle one of the biggest risks facing female athletes: under-fuelling.
