Thyroid dysfunction is very common, especially in women. Did you know that in the US approx. 20 million people have some form of thyroid dysfunction? BUT at least 60% of that number are unaware they have a condition.

Also, women are approx. 5%-10% more likely than men to develop a thyroid condition and it is thought that 1/8 women will develop a thyroid issue in their lifetime.

Per capita, the figures are thought to be similar in the UK.…. those are quite phenomenal figures so, we explore:

1. The thyroid gland and its function

2. Thyroid dysfunction and its impact on running performance

3. Some nutrition and lifestyle factors to support thyroid health.
