Smurf and Smurfette are endurance athletes, juggling their professional careers as an Educational Leader and a Doctor with endurance training. This week, we welcome Amy Kate Bowe - a coach, mentor, health professional and athlete who works in many areas of exercise and nutrition. For this podcast, we talk with Amy about a specific area of expertise for her, female athletes and training with their cycle. We cover;

> Who Amy is and her journey to developing the framework of the "Red Umbrella"
> What the Red Umbrella is and how to nourish it
> How the female menstruation cycle works and the different stages
> Training WITH the cycle and natural biology rather than working against it
> What kind of training is best at specific times of the cycle
> Fuelling training, specifically around the menstruation cycle
> Race day and what to do when a race lands at specific points of the cycle
