👉 Running alone isn’t enough
👉 Undereating can quietly weaken your bones
👉 Menopause accelerates bone loss (fast)
And most women only realise it when it’s too late.

In this episode, Shona and Nicky answer some of the most common questions female runners face in the final weeks of marathon training.Do you really need to run 20 miles before a marathon? What should you do if your foot hurts where your laces tie? How can you reduce travel fatigue when flying overseas for a race? And should runners take creatine all year round, or stop before race day?
We also talk about why consistency matters more than one “perfect” long run, how menopause symptoms can affect performance, and why comparing your current fitness to last year’s PB is not always helpful.

In this coaching call, Nicky and Shona catch up with Bee after an incredible few weeks of racing: a Boston Marathon PB followed just six days later by the London Marathon.Bee shares how her training block was far from perfect, with hamstring niggles, a painful foot issue, a full rest period, and even a last-minute shoe change before Boston. But with smart coaching adjustments, fewer weekly runs, consistent rehab, better recovery, and a relaxed race-day mindset, she still ran a brilliant 3:27:12 PB at Boston.
