Hey @GregLehman, if it’s more efficient to flex over, wouldn’t elite runners have discovered that by trial and error and be afforded a competitive advantage? Then do it from the start line? Why do (most) elite distance runners “look” so graceful? overcast.fm/+NtWm4kZJ0 – at Red Deer, Alberta

Menstrual disturbance can indicate low energy availability and is associated with an increased risk of bone stress injury in female runners Hormonal contraceptives may mask the menstrual disturbance (if I'm reading the study correctly) From @MarkJHutson

Multi-directional bounding exercises. Low reps, high intensity. Maybe once or twice a day. May help improve bone density for athletes with low energy availability Excellent read from @MarkJHutson link.springer.com/article/10….
