Manage episode 443323121 series 3503387
In episode 379 of the Real Life Runners Podcast, we focus on women experiencing perimenopause and dive into the three most common training mistakes they make, leading to decreased energy, weight gain, and reduced performance. We discuss hormonal changes, particularly the decline in estrogen and its effects on muscle and bone health, emphasizing the need for appropriate training and recovery. We explain the importance of incorporating polarized training and heavier strength training while highlighting the pitfalls of calorie restriction during this phase. We stress the impact of hormonal imbalances on training outcomes and urge listeners to make informed nutritional and recovery choices. This episode, which also marks the celebration of our podcast's seventh anniversary, offers actionable insights for maintaining health and running performance during perimenopause.
