Some runner problems should not be handled as a snack hack, hydration hack, or motivation issue. Use this thread for general next-step planning only. Do not post private medical details, weight, lab values, menstrual history, diagnosis history, or sensitive details about a minor. If the concern involves fainting, dizziness that repeats, rapid weight loss, missed periods, stress fracture, eating disorder concerns, unusual fatigue, lab questions, or return-to-play decisions, the next step is a qualified clinician. Reply with one general need only: - referral checklist - coach-safe wording - parent conversation starter - what not to post publicly - what to track before an appointment
