Doctor and Hyrox talent Saskia Millard joins Dearden's podcast

Jake Dearden has invited Saskia Millard onto his podcast. Millard combines a demanding career as a doctor with elite-level competition in Hyrox, and Dearden considers her a name to watch.

The conversation covers her background as a runner, including the setbacks that came with it. They discuss stress fractures and RED-S, topics that come up regularly in elite women's sport but are rarely spoken about openly.

The episode also touches on strength training, nutrition, the influence of the female menstrual cycle on performance, and the pressure that comes with competing at a high level. The practical side gets attention too: how do you balance serious training with long working days and night shifts?

The episode is now available. For the original announcement, see the Instagram post by @jakedearden_.
