Managing Menopausal Runners: Episode 63 with Irene Clark

We're back! Welcome to a new batch of episodes, where I'll be sharing conversations with colleagues as well as research roundups in solo episodes

I'm a bit stuffy in the first part of today's episode with menopause running coach Irene Clark (thanks lingering flu!) - but I wanted to include a little research roundup on working with female athletes, especially the challenges facing physical activity at menopause, so I discuss 2 papers that came out at the end of 2024 - I'll do screenshots of the full citations on my instagram - you can find me there as @michellelyons_muliebrity

Then we have the conversation with Irene Clark (you can find her on Instagram as @menopause_coach_irene) where we discuss practical strategies to keep menopausal runners happy & healthy - we explore musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause, pelvic health concerns, why fasted training is a bad idea, how strength training is non-negotiable and optimal recovery strategies
