In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it feels like when your body stops responding the way it used to and how perimenopause has shifted my experience as both an athlete and a coach.This is not a deep dive into hormone science.Instead, this is a conversation about:Sleep changesWeight fluctuationsMood shifts (and yes…rage 😅)Random joint achesFocus + memory issuesNausea, dizziness, and fatigueAnd the mental side of feeling like you can’t “control” outcomes the way you used toWe talk about what happens when:Effort doesn’t guarantee resultsThe same training produces different outcomesYou can’t win by simply pushing harderYour old training templates stop workingAnd most importantly: how to adapt.I share what I’m personally changing in my own training right now:Prioritizing sleep above everythingCondensing strength work for better return on investmentAdjusting fueling quantity (especially post-200 miler life)Using mobility work to understand what my body can and can’t currently tolerateLetting go of the need to control everythingIf you’re in this phase or even wondering if you might be, I hope this episode helps normalize what can feel isolating and frustrating.🔥 JOIN THE MOBILITY INTENSIVE ⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT ➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP 📸 FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM 📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM
