Your body changes in menopause.
And suddenly the old weight-loss tricks stop working.

You’re eating well.
You’re exercising.
You’re trying to do everything “right”.

But the weight keeps creeping up - especially around your middle.

This is something I hear from women all the time.

During menopause your hormones change, and your body becomes more sensitive to stress.

When stress is high, your body goes into ‘survival mode’ and is more likely to store fat rather than burn it.

So pushing harder with exercise or cutting calories often makes things worse.

Instead, the focus needs to shift towards:
• fuelling your body properly
• recovering after runs
• prioritising sleep
• building strength

I love working with strong, determined women who refuse to give up on themselves.

Women who want to feel energised, capable and confident in their bodies again.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place 💕

This is what real progress looks like.

Not perfection.
Not starting over every Monday.
Just small changes that start to feel easier over time.

One of my 1:1 clients shared this in her check-in this week:

She felt hungry one evening and had a snack, even though it took her over her calories.

But instead of feeling like she had “failed”, we’d focused on something much more important…

Listening to her body.

Because going to bed hungry isn’t a win.

So we worked on:

• Recognising hunger instead of ignoring it
• Using snacks to add protein and nutrients
• Making small tweaks rather than big changes

And that’s how sustainable progress happens.

Not by doing everything perfectly.
But by learning how to fuel your body properly.

This is exactly the kind of support my 1:1 coaching clients receive each week.

I’m proud to now be a Certified Menopause Coach 💗

I decided to study menopause because I kept seeing the same thing with the women I work with.

You’re running.
You’re trying to eat well.
You’re doing everything you used to do…

…but suddenly the old weight-loss tricks don’t work anymore.

Your weight has been creeping up.
Your energy feels different.
And the strategies that worked in your 30s just don’t seem to work the same way now.

For many women, this starts during perimenopause.

Hormones shift.
Recovery changes.
And your body responds differently to training and nutrition.

That’s why I wanted to understand this stage of life properly - so I can support women through it with the right fuelling strategies.

I love working with strong, determined women who refuse to sit down and give in.

Women who still want to feel strong.
Run well.
Have energy.
And feel good in their bodies again.

I’ll be your support, your cheerleader, and your guide.

If you’re navigating perimenopause and things suddenly feel different, send me a message - I’d love to help. 💗

No… it’s probably not from eating jam on toast!

Putting on weight during marathon training can feel incredibly frustrating.

You’re running more than ever… yet the scale isn’t moving the way you expected.

And no - it’s probably not because of the jam on toast.

After long runs, many runners aren’t actually hungry straight away.

Blood flow is prioritised to where it’s needed most - your legs, heart and lungs - which means digestion temporarily slows down.

So runners often skip refuelling because they “don’t feel hungry”.

But a few hours later…

Hunger suddenly hits hard.

That’s when energy crashes and overeating later in the day often happens.

Refuelling within about an hour of finishing your run helps replenish glycogen, stabilise energy and prevent that extreme hunger later.

It’s a simple shift, but it makes a huge difference during marathon training.

And it’s exactly the kind of strategy I teach inside Nourish & Stride.

If you’re training for a marathon and experiencing weight gain, comment “FUEL” and I’ll send you the details. 💗

Skipping carbs won’t help you lose weight for your marathon.

In fact, it often makes things harder.

When you’re running high mileage your body relies heavily on glycogen (stored carbohydrate) for energy. When carbs are too low, runners often notice:
• constant hunger
• heavy legs on runs
• strong sugar cravings
• eating everything after long runs

It’s easy to assume the problem is overeating.

But very often the real issue is under-fuelling earlier in the day, which leads to your body trying to catch up later.

Marathon training doesn’t require eating less.
It requires fuelling smarter around your runs.

If this sounds familiar, tell me - do you struggle with hunger or low energy during marathon training?

And save this for later if you’re currently training for a marathon.

For years, women were told we were each other’s competition.

There used to be this idea that women were catty.
That we judged each other.

But I’ve seen a shift over the years.

We’re no longer scornful but supportive.
Less judgement. More encouragement.
Less comparison. More connection.

Women are cheering each other on now.
Sharing advice. Supporting each other through the messy middle of life - careers, kids, training, hormones, confidence, all of it.

Because the truth is, we understand each other.

We know the juggle.
We know the pressure.
We know how hard it can be.

And instead of competing, we’re standing side by side.

I see it every day - women lifting each other up, celebrating each other’s wins, and reminding each other how strong we really are.

I feel incredibly lucky to work with such strong, determined women. It’s a privilege, and they inspire me every single day.

Happy International Women’s Day 💗

If you’re training for London, Brighton or Manchester and increasing mileage…

It feels logical that the weight should fall.

We were raised on:
“Eat less. Move more.”
“Burn it off.”
“Be good.”
“Don’t eat after 7pm.”

So when you’re moving more than ever, it feels confusing when the scale doesn’t shift.

But marathon training changes the equation.

More mileage can mean:
– Higher stress hormones
– Greater hunger
– More water retention
– Muscle breakdown if protein is low
– Under-fuelling earlier in the day

Especially in midlife, when recovery and hormonal balance are already more sensitive.

And here’s the hard part:

It’s not easy to override decades of “eat less” thinking.

It takes structure.

When fuelling becomes intentional:
– Protein at each meal
– Carbs around runs
– Strength training
– Proper recovery

Energy improves.
Hunger stabilises.
Body composition can shift gradually.

Performance first.
Body composition follows.

If you’re training hard but feeling stuck, DM “APRIL”.





05/03/2026

If you’re training for Brighton, Manchester or London and quietly hoping to drop a few pounds before race day…

Be careful.

Many runners:
– Cut carbs
– Eat lightly before long runs
– Under-fuel during
– Delay eating after

Then blame themselves when hunger explodes later.

That isn’t lack of discipline.

It’s under-fuelling.

Especially in midlife, when recovery and stress response are already more sensitive.

The solution isn’t more restriction.

It’s structured fuelling:
– Carbs around training
– 30g protein per meal
– Proper long-run recovery

Performance first.
Body composition follows.

If this feels familiar, DM “APRIL”.





03/03/2026

If you’re in midlife and training for Brighton, Manchester or London, you might feel heavier than you expected at this stage.

You’re not imagining it.

Midlife + high mileage can mean:
• More water retention
• Greater stress response
• Slower recovery
• Muscle loss if protein is low

For some women, there may also be body fat they’d like to reduce.

But cutting calories hard during peak training increases stress further - and often backfires.

The answer isn’t restriction.

It’s structured fuelling:
• Protein at every meal
• Carbs timed around runs
• Lower carb rest days
• Strength training twice a week

Performance first.
Body composition follows.

If this is you, DM “APRIL”.

02/03/2026

Most runners I speak to around this time quietly start eating less.

Cutting carbs.
Skipping snacks.
Hoping lighter = faster.

But under-fuelling during peak mileage often leads to:
• Heavy legs
• Poor recovery
• Intense hunger
• No scale shift

Performance first. Body composition follows.

If you’re training for Brighton, Manchester or London and feeling heavier than expected, DM “APRIL”.

This is it.

Nourish & Stride closes tonight.

If you’re a runner who is:
• Tired of feeling exhausted
• Fed up of guessing what to eat
• Trying to lose weight but scared to fuel properly

You do not need another “eat less” plan.

You need to understand how to fuel your training.

Tomorrow we start.

No more watching quietly.
No more thinking “maybe next time.”

If you want to feel stronger, more in control and properly fuelled this spring, this is your moment.

Doors close tonight.
