    3. Lane 9 with Abby Chan RD: Disrupting Disordered Norms and Knowing What Works for You

    3. Lane 9 with Abby Chan RD: Disrupting Disordered Norms and Knowing What Works for You

    What we consider normal, or even "healthy", is so often shaped by and evolves with the communities we're in. With increased access to the training and lives of elite athletes and recreational runners alike, it can be hard to decipher what's disordered, "disciplined", worth pursuing, and/or damanging to your overall wellbeing. Abby and I chat about her relationship to movement, her work as a sports dietitian getting athletes at all levels to eat more, and we get into a few questions from the community!
