A little update from me!
Update: November 2022 I wrote my last blog in September just after being diagnosed with POI. Since then I’ve been getting my head round what’s happening inside my body and most importantly getting used to changing my HRT patch (twice a week) and taking my Progesterone tablets each evening. I’m an absolute nightmare when it […]
This is me age 38. I join the 1% of women who go into early menopause before the age of 40. Things haven’t felt quite right for some time. Truth be told, I’ve been noticing strange goings on since late last year (2021) and the beginning of this year (2022). My period has been missing in action for […]
Lots of people come to me and say they are struggling to increase their distance and build their endurance. Often, they describe hitting a wall or simply feeling like they can’t go any further.

I’m 8 weeks in to some more structured training and I’m pleased to report some highly satifying increases in my VO2 Max! It made me think. How many people really understand what VO2 Max is, what it measures and how to improve it? Thus this blog…but strap yourselves in because it does get a little […]
