Welcome to Day 1 of the Run Like A Woman challenge! Congratulations on taking this step towards improving your running and becoming the strong runner that you want to be!

As a woman over 40, I’m guessing that you have noticed that things aren’t really working the same way they used to.

Running feels harder, you’re noticing more aches, pains, or even injuries, and don’t even mention the fatigue!

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and there is a good reason you’re feeling that way.

In perimenopause (which can start as early as 35 years old!), your hormones start to shift and change, and this hormonal chaos affects every system in your body.

Perimenopause and menopause are not just hot flashes and the end of your period. There is WAY more to it, and it’s not something that we have been taught!

Your body simply does not respond to exercise the same way, and it becomes harder to get the results you want.

You see, there’s really two phases to your running life - before and after menopause, and perimenopause is the transition from phase 1 to phase 2.

In phase 2, everything matters more, and you have to be much more intentional with all of your choices.

You can’t just throw on your shoes and head out the door like you used to.

But there’s good news too…

There is a lot you can do to feel better and run stronger, and that’s what we will be covering this week!

I am all about helping you see how much power you truly have over your body in this phase of your life.

Over the next 5 days, I will show you how to run stronger without pain by moving and training with intention and prioritizing the things that will actually move you forward.

Because what worked in the first phase of your running life, does not work the same way in the second phase.

As a physical therapist for the past 18 years, runner for over 20 years, and coach for over 10 years, I've helped thousands of runners transform from frustrated runners struggling to achieve their goals into strong and confident Real Life Runners, in charge of their running and their life, and I am excited to help you this week to get there too!

This week is all about taking action, so it’s not just about learning concepts. It’s about taking small steps to feeling better in just 5 minutes a day!

There are 3 ingredients to totally transform your running (which you will learn this week), but our daily action items will focus on one area specifically so you can start feelin
