When should I get professional help with a running goal?

Take iron only when a test confirms deficiency and under guidance; taken otherwise it can harm. Over-drinking water on long efforts risks hyponatraemia. Menstrual disturbance, stress fractures or extreme fatigue can signal under-fuelling (RED-S) and warrant care. Athletes should check anti-doping contamination risk and their sport's rules.
