Alan Culpeper

What to do about low iron

Posted by simon on 6/22/2007 on simon's blog

It seems that American hero Alan Culpepper is another of the illustrious names (ahem) who has been bothered by a lack of iron in the blood.

The latest Running Times has a good story on this unsuspected scourge of distance athletes.. read it here.

One thing I disagree with. RT's Richard Lovett writes: "Treatment is fairly simple". Hmm. One runner in the article apparently solved it by eating steak; Culpepper took supplementa and six weeks later was OK. Not my experience :)

Yes... it was muddy: Alan Culpepper's battered Nikes on the podium at the US National Cross-Country Championship in Boulder.
