Emma Young- RED-S & a Cool Old Lady Bod

Send us a text

Join us as we shakeout with 2024 Cape Elizabeth grad, Emma Young. Emma was known well for her running talent in high school but she was and still is SO much more than a runner. Emma was a 2024 National STEM Champion where she reported her research on RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency Syndrome) in High School Cross Country Athletes. She currently attends and runs cross country and track at Rice University. We took the time in this episode to talk to Emma about her research on RED-S. Her passion is clear and so is her message to high school athletes, especially young women. In her words, "Having a strong old lady body down the road is SO much cooler than being fast in high school." Another educational and lovely shakeout.
