  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Telegraph Women's Sport podcast, we look at a subject that is sadly still a sporting taboo: periods. Sam Quek is joined by two women to discuss the impact of the menstrual cycle on women in sport – from understanding our bodies better to kit concerns.  

    Dr Emma Ross, is a physiologist that focuses on the data gap in women’s sport science. She was formerly head of physiology at the English Institute of Sport & has since founded The Well HQ, which delivers education programmes on women’s health. She's a co-author of the best-selling book The Female Body: A Revolution in Women's Health and Fitness.

    Bobby Clay was the European junior 1500m champion and hotly-tipped for higher honours as a middle-distance runner, but aged 18 she was diagnosed with osteoporosis, which brought a premature end to her sporting career. 

    You can read more about Bobby's story here.
