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 changes
- Weight fluctuations
- Mood shifts (and yes…rage 😅)
- Random joint aches
- Focus + memory issues
- Nausea, dizziness, and fatigue
- And the mental side of feeling like you can’t “control” outcomes the way you used to
We talk about what happens when:
- Effort doesn’t guarantee results
- The same training produces different outcomes
- You can’t win by simply pushing harder
- Your old training templates stop working
And most importantly: how to adapt.
I share what I’m personally changing in my own training right now:
- Prioritizing sleep above everything
- Condensing strength work for better return on investment
- Adjusting fueling quantity (especially post-200 miler life)
- Using mobility work to understand what my body can and can’t currently tolerate
- Letting go of the need to control everything
If you’re in this phase or even wondering if you might be, I hope this episode helps normalize what can feel isolating and frustrating.
