Everyone loves a good comeback story, but in order to reach the glory of the comeback, you have to go through the painstaking process of writing the story. Pen in hand, Princeton sophomore and NCAA D1 runner, Page Lester, is recovering from her third bone injury in two years. Page’s first draft with injury was in high school when a labrum tear in her shoulder ultimately ended her competitive swimming and triathlon career for the time being. Ever since, it has been a constant revision process of learning what it will take to get her period back and improve her bone density so that she can stay healthy to realize her potential as a runner. In turning the next page, the 2x Footlocker finalist, Team USA triathlete, and 2018 NCAA D1 XC Championships competitor gets real about the mental challenges that come with injury.

Bone Health & Periods in Female Runners (2004 publication but most comprehensive I could find. We need to disseminate the research in this field to a more general audience, increase awareness, and extend medical knowledge!!)
