Iron/Ferritin Check-up
If you have not had your ferritin levels checked since the end of track season please consider doing so soon. We recommend having your ferritin levels checked at a minimum of twice a year: Once after the track season, and once after XC season. If the last time you had your levels checked was sometime in 2024, getting in before the school year starts would be a good idea.
You can consult with your physician first or order directly from a lab. Info on ordering direct
