Saskia is a full-time doctor, elite HYROX athlete and lifelong runner — and in this episode we get into how she balances high-level training with a demanding medical career.
We talk about her journey from running at nine years old to competing at an elite level, the impact of stress fractures and RED-S, strength training, nutrition, the female menstrual cycle, performance pressure, and what it's really like trying to train around long days and night shifts.
