My Story

Endurance Athlete & Coach

I thought I had everything figured out and that I knew what my body was capable of. Turns out, I still have a lot to learn.

I’ve been an endurance athlete for over 25 years, and I was a coach for 5. I’ve trained through injuries and hard seasons. Then perimenopause hit. For the first time, nothing I knew actually worked. And what used to work sent me into RED-S.

The training, the recovery, the way my body responded… It all changed. And it didn’t gradually change, it completely changed.

This site is where I document the rebuild. It’s not going to be a polished plan or recycled advice. This is my real-world return to endurance in a postmenopausal body, and I’ll be figuring it out in real time. What’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.
