296. Running Through Perimenopause with Coach Emily Fox: Why Your Pace, Energy, and Body Are Changing

If you're a female runner and lately running feels harder than it used to, you're not alone. More fatigue. Slower pace. Longer recovery. Sleep disruption. Changes in body composition. For many women, these shifts begin during perimenopause, a stage that can start earlier than most runners realize. The problem is that most training plans never account for these hormonal changes, leaving many runners feeling frustrated and wondering if their best running days are behind them. The good news is they are not. In this episode, Dr. Duane Scotti sits down with our newest addition to the Spark Healthy Runner team, Coach Emily to demystify running through perimenopause.  Emily Fox is a UESCA Certified Running Coach, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, yoga instructor, marathoner, and mom who is passionate about helping women stay strong, injury free, and confident through every season of life. Together we break down what female runners need to understand about training during perimenopause and how to adapt your training so you can continue progressing, feeling strong, and chasing big goals. In this episode, we discuss: - What perimenopause is and when female runners may begin noticing changes - Common symptoms runners experience such as fatigue, slower pace, and longer recovery - Why strength training becomes even more important during this stage - How protein, nutrition, and recovery influence performance - How to balance training, career, family, and self care during this busy season of life - Why your best running may still be ahead of you with the right training approach Perimenopause does not mean your running has to decline. With the right strength training, smart programming, and support, many women continue to run strong and even set new personal records.   Listen to my previous episode on running through menopause here!

[Download] The Ultimate Achilles Guide for Runners  If you've been told the only way to fix Achilles tendonitis is to stop running… this episode might completely change how you think about healing. One of the biggest myths in the running world is that you can't run with Achilles pain. But in most cases, total rest doesn't build a stronger tendon, it actually reduces its load tolerance and keeps you stuck in the frustrating start-stop injury cycle. In this episode, I break down: - Why total rest can make Achilles tendinopathy worse - The real reason your pain keeps coming back - The 3 signs it's SAFE to run with Achilles pain - The difference between insertional vs midportion Achilles tendinopathy - How to modify running without making your symptoms worse - The exact strengthening principles that rebuild tendon capacity - When you actually SHOULD stop running You'll also hear real runner success stories from inside our Healthy Runner community who went from fearing their running days were over… to rebuilding strength and returning to racing pain free. If you're wondering: Can I run with Achilles tendonitis? Is it safe to run with Achilles pain? How do I heal without completely shutting it down? This episode gives you the clarity and structure you need. Because tendons don't heal from avoidance. They heal from smart, progressive loading. 🎁 Download my free Achilles guide here!
