What if perimenopause could be your comeback season instead of your slowdown? 

In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading health, fitness, and perimenopause practitioners, shares seven powerful and practical ways to boost speed and performance during perimenopause, inspired by her own race day breakthroughs and coaching hundreds of women through similar wins. Whether you're chasing personal records or simply running for joy, this episode is filled with real-life wisdom, hormone-smart science, and easy-to-apply tips to help you thrive, not just survive.

Learn how trimming distractions, regulating cortisol and your nervous system, rethinking your fueling strategy, and finding the right music can transform your performance and well-being. You’ll hear relatable stories, mindset shifts, and race day takeaways that speak to every type of runner, from the ambitious road-loving goal setter to the joy-filled, easy going trail lover. This is about doing what works now to align your actions with your changing female physiology, not what used to work, and loving the process!
