Diane: Thanks so much for your mention of Traxee.com! You have cited some excellent articles here on the health effects of running on women. The "urban myth" that running actually damages womens' health is one that has been floating around for a very long time, and certainly has no foundation in fact (or medical evidence). However you are also correct when you say that women athletes must be extra mindful of their nutritional needs. Many of the documented effects of prolonged intense exercise on women's reproductive cycles can be corrected with proper supplements and diet. To learn more ladies, check out the articles Diane cites here. There are also several excellent posts on Traxee.com on this subject. Happy running! Beth Moore, Founder, Traxee.com
