How to Adapt Your Training During the Menopause Transition with Phaedra Kennedy (Episode 204)

Hit Play Not Pause

Horrible periods. Crippling anxiety. Weight gain. Rage. Sheet-soaking night sweats. This week’s guest, elite runner, triathlete, and endurance coach, Phaedra Kennedy had all of it, and unfortunately at the time, had no idea it was perimenopause. Because that’s just how it’s been for women. We get the birds and the bees talk as kids, but then we get to this age, and it’s just like, figure it out. You're on your own. Phaedra has devoted her life to changing that reality and to helping midlife and menopausal women find the right support and training modifications to stay in the game and keep feeling and performing their best. We dive into all of it and more this week.

Phaedra Kennedy is an endurance coach that specializes in working with women, the majority of whom are peri or post menopausal. She is also an age group runner and triathlete and over the last 25 years has raced everything from 5 km to Ironman. She is an NCCP Trained Triathlon Coach, an NAASFP Certified Run Coach, a CanFitPro Personal Trainer, and a DTS Level One Exercise Coach. She has taken Dr. Stacy Sims Menopause for Athletes Course and was a part of the Navigate Menopause founding cohort. You can learn more about her and her work at www.pkperformancecoaching.com
