S4 Ep4 - Female Health & Performance: What Most Women Aren’t Told About Training

The GB Sports Performance Podcast

Show Notes

Today I dive into female health and performance, and why so many female athletes in their 30s and 40s feel constantly tired, struggle to recover, or deal with recurring injuries.

The problem usually isn’t discipline, age, or bad luck. It’s that many of us have been following training models designed for men.

I break down how female physiology, hormones, and fuelling actually impact performance, and why understanding your body helps you train smarter, not just harder.

I also cover five key areas that often get overlooked: Male-based training models Under-fuelling Early perimenopause Reecurring niggles Tracking the wrong metrics

If you want to keep performing well and playing sport long into your 40s and beyond, this episode will help you understand what really matters.
