In this episode, I share my biggest training mistake of last year and what it taught me (again!) about midlife fitness, perimenopause, training intensity, cortisol and recovery for women in their 40s...

Last summer I trained for an event I was really excited about.

I had the plan.

I had the experience.

I had the knowledge.

What I didn’t have… was the right intensity balance.

We’re talking about:

1. What the “mid-zone” actually is (and why it’s a problem for many midlife women)
2. How my ego influenced my training decisions
3. The hormonal and recovery symptoms I experienced
4. Why stress load matters more in your 40s
5. How I would structure things differently now
6. What my goals look like this year instead

To be clear - this isn’t about stopping big goals.

It’s about training intelligently in perimenopause and beyond.

If you’ve ever felt like:

1. You’re plateauing
2. You’re constantly tired but wired
3. Your sleep has taken a hit
4. Your appetite is all over the place
5. Your body just doesn’t respond like it used to

This episode is for you.
