the world is hard. winter is on the way. we need every way we can find to combat depression and anxiety. did you know that running is an evidence-based treatment for these mental health problems?

@MelissaKahn7 wow, the comments here are a fascinating combination of feminist and misogynist.

@miken_running i get honked all the time, and it’s usually intended as harassment🤬 so never assume it’s your bad! #runningwhilefemale

underfueling can happen to any athlete (and if you move your body a lot, you're an athlete). REDs is real. if you're an athlete or a coach, educate yourself and fuel up!

@quin_denfeld @OHSUNursing @TheSocietyHotel @SusanRosenkranz @ShirinHiatt @MaryCRDavis @MillerMedora @song_minkyoung @TildenEllen that looks lovely and i hope productive! *almost* makes me wish i was back in academia to share it with you. go forth and create new knowledge, team!

[Elizabeth Knight @TheKnightNurse]

training outside in the heat is hard, and guess what? it's the new normal. but does what we think we know apply to everyone? women? masters atheletes? who know? more:

there are a lot of reasons to stop harping on weight at medical visits, including that the scientific evidence for its value in predicting health risk is shaky.

just in case you forgot what it’s like to be a woman on the internet, this is one of the nicer ones. the objectionable comment i made? let’s say “men’s podium” and “women’s podium”, not “podium” and “women’s podium”. misogyny is alive and well in sports, folks!

stop with this “i only run if i’m being chased by a bear” stuff. if you’re being chased, it’s better to be in shape, right?

things everyone can benefit from, volume 1: #Running !

@SarahSpain @FemaleAthConf … and having people like you in the room is the secret sauce that can help knowledge exist in the sporting world and not just in the ivory tower. appreciate you! 🙌🏽

[Elizabeth Knight @TheKnightNurse]

@DrScottLear @DrMarthaGulati oh man, i want another PhD now…

[Elizabeth Knight @TheKnightNurse]

@KnowThyHealth @TStellingwerff Yup. . . it’s still a pervasive paradigm in sport. But some of us are out here fixing it! 🙌

[Elizabeth Knight @TheKnightNurse]

When @TStellingwerff said "health first, performance second”, he summarized my coaching ethos perfectly. And guess what? Long-term health begets long-term, high-level performance. Boom. #2023FAC

@seaportboston @FemaleAthConf Thanks... Also, it's freezing in here! Good thing we got those sweatshirts!

[Elizabeth Knight @TheKnightNurse]

@mclemoremr GREAT choice! y’all are in good hands

[Elizabeth Knight @TheKnightNurse]

@runmarycain — an amazing athlete, and breaking news, future physician!— just reminded a room full of health pros, correctly, that just because a person has had mental health struggles does not mean that all of their symptoms are caused by their mental health struggles. #2023FAC

[Dr. Katie Rizzone @DrKatieRizzone]

The keynote from @runmarycain at @FemaleAthConf was unexpected. Naively, I thought it would be something running-related. Instead it was a testament. A call. To be a better physician. And a better human. Hope folks listen to it virtually. #2023FAC

@drtinamaster @uoregon @WuTsaiAlliance @DrKateAckerman Might have put a certain footwear giant on blast there 🤭
