## Resource

In this episode of Fuelin Sessions, Scott is joined by professional runner and Puma athlete Lucy Reid. They discuss her recovery from a medial meniscus root repair and eight weeks non-weight-bearing, why the biggest nutrition mistake injured athletes make is easing off exactly when fueling matters most, why recovery often means eating more rather than less, a supplement protocol driven by blood testing and retesting instead of guesswork, the rehab tech behind her comeback (blood flow restriction, muscle stim, and the AlterG treadmill), the DEXA scan showing under 3% muscle asymmetry, and her return to racing at the British 10K Championships after 16 months out.
