January often feels heavier than we expect. You tell yourself this is the month you’ll finally get back on track - training consistently, eating well, feeling like yourself  again. And yet… motivation feels low, energy is flat, and the pressure to “do it right this time” feels overwhelming. If that’s you, you’re not lazy - and you’re not failing. You’re just starting January already depleted . December drains most women more than they realise. Less sleep. More socialising. Mo

If you’ve ever increased your mileage, signed up for a race, or added more running into your week, only to feel puffier, heavier, bloated, or more tired , you’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not broken. This is one of the most common patterns I see in women who train hard:They move more, eat “better,” and somehow feel worse. The reason? A mismatch between training stress, fuelling, and recovery. Running Is a Stressor, Even When It’s Good for You Running isn’t bad.

Maintenance is still progress. Especially in December. If you're training less, sleeping a bit worse, eating more socially but still showing up, you are not failing you are adapting to the season that you're in. Thats what long-term consistency actually looks like

Most women are training hard…But very few are training effectively. And that difference is everything. This week on the Fuelled Female Podcast, I broke down the exact principles that genuinely move the needle, the ones that turn “I go to the gym” into “my physique is changing”. Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: ✖ Women are trying. ✖ Women are working hard. ✖ Women are disciplined.

PCOS affects up to 1 in 10 women, but the majority of our clinical guidance is developed from sedentary populations . Not runners. Not lifters. Not hybrid athletes. Not women engaging in 5–10 hours of training per week. This creates a major clinical gap: Active women are told to follow low-carb, weight-focused guidelines that directly conflict  with the metabolic demands of their training. The result? We see women who are: Training 4–6x/week Eating “clean” Restricting carbohy

I see it all the time with the women I coach.They tell me they feel “guilty” for being on birth control, like they’ve chosen the easy route or done something wrong. But birth control isn’t bad. It’s just misunderstood. It gives women freedom, choice, and control over their bodies — yet most of us were prescribed it as teenagers without ever being told how it actually works. The Truth About Birth Control Most contraceptives work by preventing ovulation , which means your body

Why We Need to Talk About This It still blows my mind that so many women, even those who train, track macros, and care deeply about their health, don’t actually understand their menstrual cycle.And that’s not their fault.We were never properly taught it. For decades, women have been told to “push harder,” “eat less,” and “train the same every week.”But the female body doesn’t work like that.Our hormones fluctuate every month, impacting our strength, recovery, cravings, sleep,

How to use your ambition without burning yourself out I’ve always described myself as a Type A woman, ambitious, wired, and constantly chasing the next goal. But for years, I never actually sat down and asked myself what that meant. I just knew that I couldn’t switch off. Even when I’d hit a PB or finish a big project, my first thought was always, “Okay, what’s next?” Sound familiar? You might be the same, the woman who lives at 110%, who thrives on being busy, who wants to d

Most women assume bloating means something is wrong with their diet. Too much bread. Not enough greens. Dairy, gluten, maybe FODMAPs. But the truth is, it’s rarely just  food. When I moved to Dubai, my gut completely gave up on me. I was eating well (or so I thought), but I was working two jobs, running on caffeine, training through exhaustion, and sleeping maybe five hours a night. My stomach was so bloated it hurt to sit down. I couldn’t go to the toilet. My skin broke out.

Carbs make or break endurance training. Here’s my no-BS review of Precision Fuel’s Carb & Electrolyte Drink Mix 60g carbs, 1g sodium, and whether it’s worth your money.

One of the most common questions I get from clients and after my recent marathon is: “How do you balance it all?" How do you run, lift, recover, and still have a life? The truth is, most people don’t need more  training. They need smarter structure. Here’s what my current training looks like As I prep for my 60K ultra, I train six days a week , but I’ve earned that volume over years of consistency. My week roughly looks like this: 🏃‍♀️ Three runs: Easy run (zone 2) - this
