Deatherage: "I have been eating so much steak it’s ridiculous"

Fast Women.Com, a great web-site hosted by the new York Road Runner's Club, just posted an in-depth interview of Team USA Minnesota's Jenelle Deatherage -- winner of last month's Drake Relays 1500 meter and the TC 1 Mile last week.

The Q/A talks about training, juggling running and a career, and -- explaining our headline -- her constant battles with low iron levels.

On the subject, Deatherage (pictured winning the TC 1 Mile) says: "I've been really trying to push the natural sources. I still take my supplements, but I was taking supplements when my levels were low, so my guess is that I just wasn't getting enough of the natural iron from the red meat. My poor husband; he feels like I’m going to give him a heart attack."

At Fast Women you can also find recent interviews of Team USA Minnesota's Sara Wells and Katie McGregor.
