Parent resource
Use this checklist to catch underfueling early, before fatigue, mood changes, repeated illness, or injury start to look like a normal part of the season. This route now works as a public-first landing page: open the guide, use the free Runner Fueling Lab for a general follow-up question, and only move into a paid system when the issue needs more structure.

Why this page exists
This route no longer depends on email capture. Open the public guide first, use the free Lab for general breakfast, recovery, hydration, race-week, travel, or coach-family communication questions, then choose the paid path only when the week needs a deeper system.
Start with the public path
Open first
A printable checklist covering fatigue, recovery, period changes, illness, and injury warning flags.
Ask second
Use one public Runner Fueling Lab prompt when the question is still general and you want a practical answer without moving into a private channel.
Built for responsible use
Keep public posts general. Do not post weight, lab values, diagnosis history, or minor-specific health details.

Use the energy availability calculator
A quick self-check for whether training load and intake are drifting too far apart.
Open resourceParent Access ($119/year (or $14/mo)) gives one household its own dashboard, tools, and support path when the week needs more than general public guidance.
Parent resource
One tired day is normal. Two to three weeks of low energy, skipped meals, irritability, stress injuries, or recurring illness is a pattern worth acting on.
Energy crash after practice
Persistent soreness or heavy legs
Stress fracture history, missed periods, or stalled growth
Parent resource
Lead with energy, recovery, and how the athlete feels. Avoid comments about weight or appearance. The conversation should lower pressure, not add it.

If the checklist is lighting up repeatedly, do not wait for a full collapse. That is the right time for ferritin testing, clinical review, and a stronger fueling plan.
