So what, what do you do then?
22:01
Yeah.
22:01
So that's called, like, amenorrhea, where you lose your menstrual cycle because you're basically training too much.
22:09
Um, I went to see a lot of medical professionals, especially female medical professionals, who have worked with sports people, and they gave me so much, like, invaluable knowledge, and ultimately I had to eat a whole lot more, and my body would start to calm down.
22:31
Because I'd made this huge progression from nought to 100, my body was on this huge stress response that it was then gonna go from 100 to 200%.
22:39
Whereas actually now I was on 100%, yeah, my running was really good, I just needed to hold it there, and I had to let my body catch up.
22:47
I had to fuel it better.

Like I don't know, how'd you deal with it all?
2:58
So do tell me more about it.

[laughs] It is true.
3:01
So many people ask me, and I wish I had the secret.
3:04
I wish there was a shortcut, but unfortunately, I think it really was that I loved the sport so much.
3:11
And I just found something that, like, lit a fire inside of me, and I just, like, m- m- literally ran with it.
3:17
[laughs] Um, yeah, it was a crazy, like, three years, I dropped my time from 4:34 for my first ever marathon to 2:34, and it completely changed my life.
3:30
And I think everybody says consistency is key, but it really was that.
4:50
Mm.
