Here is what I want you to take away from the information below:
- Iron levels make a difference! Runners need a value of at least 30 or higher. (More than the typical person!)
- If you think you might have an iron issue, get tested so you know what the problem is and so your coaches can make informed decisions about your training.
- Iron levels easily can be improved through supplementation and an improved diet.
Below is some information from a coaching conference that explains more details.
