These are great suggestions. Thank you!

My first time here. Thank you, ladies. 48 year old female marathon runner from New York State

Thank you for starting these podcasts! I am a 65 year old runner who started the Coach Parry training plans earlier this year. I am currently training for my first 1/2 marathon and am learning I need to run my easier runs at a slower pace to help my recovery. I noticed if my easy runs are in a zone 3 range my recovery takes longer. Can't wait for the next podcast. Kind regards. - Susan

It seems like this video was mostly just a resume of the speakers events and experiences. It was about 12 minutes in before you started talking about "what every female runner must know."

Excellent episode. Thank you 🥇

I definitely needed to incorporate heart rate monitoring to understand what my easy runs are supposed to feel like. Coming from CrossFit and HIIT work outs it was a great teacher for me. I use a Garmin wrist watch, even though I have a Whoop, they are both very different. My recovery is better, Ive seen improvements in my heart rate/pace in just 4 weeks! Great conversation! I was definitely going too fast!

So informative as usual 🥇👌🏽

I’m loving Pillar’s Triple Magnesium for sleep (and bowel consistency). It makes recovery easier and stronger and I sleep sooner if not longer despite my insomnia, frequent waking, night sweats, etc.

You are absolutely correct in identifying the misinformation re menopause posted online, but I would like to know what your qualifications are so that you can distinguish yourself as a credible source for information and analyses. Your profile page is, shall we say, lacking. I am disinclined to trust blindly. Good scientists also make citations available; online, this usually means listing references in the description section. Attention to this would be much appreciated.

I am 4'11" going through menopause. Can I do strength training 4 to 5 consecutive days for 1 hour?

THIS feels empowering. I'm even more optimistic with my training.

What would be the advice for some of us that cant have hormonal therapy? I struggle with my sleep and in the morning I am exhausted. I went from someone that was always up at around 4am now I struggle to get up as i keep waking up several times during g the night due to night sweats and hot flashes. It is so frustrating as in the morning I am exhausted and I can't have hormonal therapy due to breast cancer. I am getting desperate as no one seems to be able to help me 😢

I lift heavy 2x/week, I run 4x/week, eat fairly clean (hardly any processed food), no alcohol, sleep is great. On HRT. I still have a belly. It's gotten worse over the past few months. Stress is low, cortisol is fine. On paper I shouldn't be having this issue, right? And yes, I'm getting enough protein.

Right now im going through a rough time (financially)but signed for the app but my question is ? How can I determine my slow run?

This is a great channel, great information and i have incorporated strength training with immense changes

What if you don’t have any testosterone left? Building muscle is difficult.

I love this chanel. You give science-based supported facts and practical advice that is no-nonsense. Thank you so much!

How long should these 3 strength sessions per week be? I do a total of 90 minutes each week but is this enough?

Does fasting for 12hr from dinner to breakfast help? I have heard from our PCP that it helps, if we consume healthy food and follow healthy living habits.

The hormonal joint aches definitely makes it painful to exercise.

First time I heard that it affects the hunger signals, making things worse. :( Plus, when I run I definitely feel hungrier than on non-running days.

Well this is an absolute relief! Glad to hear there's one thing we can have control over in this point of life. Thanks!

If you're going to refer to research, can you please cite it in the description?

Good to know that my metabolism isn't tanking directly, yet. I have been trying to increase strength. I am trying to increase protein and lower carbs and lower calories altogether. This weight gain has me so depressed and defeated.

Absolutely, strength training is very important . Also, if you are like me, always hungry, eat good carbs I.e. Oats, protein is also critical, but I must be honest, I don't really like it. I eat 2 - 3 eggs per day & a piece of chicken for supper.

Yes, all this exercise is great however if you eat crap nutrition, none of the exercise will make any difference! If you are insulin resistant and eat a lot of crap carbs you will store fat and not burn your body fat. Each person is different and this video is not one size fits all. Get to know your body and figure out what foods work for you!

Thank you! Just the video/info I needed!

Does all this apply to postmenopausal women too? I'm still early 50s but menopause done and dusted.

Excellent video Shona. I am interested in knowing the difference between running easy but not necessarily slow. Would you say easy = choosing a flatter route vs slow route which might be hilly?

Totally agree Shona, thank you

Excellent analogies. Thank you for your very clear explanation to these topics.

Great information!

another great video thank you❤

I prepared for this by getting HRT at 51 (as read that was average age for menopause), so I could maintain the results of training as much of possible. Of course, told my GP I wasn't sleeping well ( doctor friend advised that was how to get hold of it)....as GPS not allowed to prescribe for maintaing performance and heart health, and osteoporosis. 20 years later, best thing I did - but GPs still only allowed to prescribe for symptoms of menopause....crazy. I shall be on HRT forever.

Hello! Im new here. Thank you for the video.

There are many things attributed to aging that aren't actually due to aging at all. A large part of decline has to do with an improper diet - like not getting enough protein and eating too many plants (hence, eating too many plant toxins.) As someone in my 60's who sprints, jumps, and throws in track meets and also swims competitively, I can tell you from my own personal experience and health that "exponential muscle loss" is not due to aging. So many people are floored at how much muscle I have. Same can be said of many older athletes who consume enough protein. Has my training changed since when I was in my 20's? Yep - I train much harder and I'm lifting heavier. Look beyond what's been taught from observing sedentary people confined to nursing homes. Follow the evidence.

Thank you for this video. Although I'm more of a walker than a runner, I found a lot of great advice here 🙏 Will definitely make use of your strength training tips. Much appreciated ❤

New subscriber here. I have been post menopausal 5 years and been running 7. I started running in full blown perimenopause, so I am super excited for this channel

Great talk, am going to incorporate the exercises that have been suggested.

Squats Hamstring walkout Single leg calf raise with bent knee Bridge clam Pushup Bridge clam

thankyou so much for covering this topic, being post menopause and still loving to run can be frustrating. Love this ❤

I do triathlon. Since 2 years my run speed has decreased after ménopause. Before I ran very fast. What s I can do ? Musculation etc ?

Go to the points,u talk too much

Thank you. This was so interesting.

So figure out how to get rid of that high forehead male pattern baldness creep both of us have going?????

So these calorie out is debunked, see dr Robert Lustig, so all the other stuff you tell here can be false too.

I just happened on this video. Good video! Do you have any videos on bioidentical hormones? thank you!

once I passed 45 or so, the more I ran, the heavier I got. instead of the immediate few lbs decrease after a long run, I would bloat up after a long run and retain more wieght. Regardless, I am glad I kept up my cardio/endurance all these years. I feel it's getting a bad rap in fitness circles lately, but imma keep it up!
