A solo pod lovely people on all things around my second ultra marathon this year. 

My plan at the start of 2018 was to run x 2 ultra marathons, 1 very hilly race in the summer and 1 coastal flat race in the winter. 

I settled into the Cortina trail in June (listen back to previous episode.)

My final race of the year is in Suffolk on October the 20th.  

33.1 miles - the longest I will attempt to run so far. 

The race - Endurancelife Suffolk Ultra Marathon. 

Main Outcome - To finish the race and run as best as I can on the day. 

I had some decent feedback on my solo pod about the Cortina race so I cracked 20 minutes or so speaking about this race.

My Third And Longest Ultra Marathon So Far...

Harriet Bindloss 'Thenutritionalbean' is a Nutritional Therapist, Health Coach, Wife & Mother. 

We dig into:

How Harriet became a Nutritional Therapist and why she wanted to focus on female health, in particular supporting the menstrual cycle, period pains and helping women thrive through each phase of their cycle.

Circadian rhythms and how things may fall out of sync, due to life load i.e. stress, stimulants like caffeine, artificial light and irregular sleep patterns. 

The menstrual cycle i.e. things to consider in each phase in terms of hormonal function, appetite regulation, mood and cognition, physically readiness for exercise and recovery and regeneration from exercise, and emotional responses. 

Practical steps to take in order to not leave anything up to chance, take back some control and support and nourish the female body. 

As always lovely people if you like the show please share it with someone. Also, please subscribe on SoundCloud, Apple Podcast & Spotify and leave me a review on Apple Podcast (thanks in advance.)

The temperature check Harriet spoke about -https://www.amazon.co.uk/Femometer-Thermometer-Fertility-Ovulation-Automatically/dp/B07VF464QD/ref=sr_1_11_sspa?crid=1G8SXSNOA50EJ&dchild=1&keywords=femometer+for+adults&qid=1603194940&sprefix=fermometer+for+adults,aps,150&sr=8-11-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFOSzFQTEQyTVpSOFMmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5MTE1NjMzSTRUQkI0S01ZMktLJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzNjEyNDdOWEw1RFFPOUo0QzQmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

(Take your temperature first thing in the morning before you get up, brush your teeth or have a drink; if take it at consistent times in the morning you’ll get more accurate readings. Bare in mind that having alcohol the night before and getting up in the three hours before waking, eg, to go to the loo, will affect the temperature.)
