#163: Josie Askin on Stress Fractures, Perfectionism & Wellbeing
Josie is a New Zealand based runner and Holistic Wellness Coach who grew up watching her Dad compete in running events.
As she tells the story in this conversation, she was a chubby kid who was teased about her weight so she started running during her teenage years to lose weight.
Unfortunately, she soon found herself in a cycle of overtraining, under-recovery & under-eating for about 9 years.
Ultimately it culminated in her experiencing the female athlete triad (as it was referred to then, which is a combination of disordered eating, amenorrhea and osteoporosis or low bone density) and ultimately a stress fracture in her hip.
