Keely and Corrine talk about the World Mountain Running Championships, other races, and what happens if you have to run a race with your period. We highlight a recent post by elite triathlete, Emma Pallant, who got chastised by men for leaking blood onto her pink triathalon suit. We discuss why this is harmful and ways to destigmatize menstruation and teach girls about their body in a positive way. Then they interview Caitlin Jacobsen, a certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and Registered Counselor Agency Affiliate working at Opal Food and Body Wisdom in Seattle WA.
