THE RECOVERY REPORT

Many women notice that the things that used to work no longer seem as effective.
The same training routine doesn’t deliver the same results. Recovery feels slower. Injuries appear more frequently. Muscle mass seems harder to maintain.
It’s easy to assume this is simply an unavoidable part of ageing.
The reality is more nuanced.
During perimenopause, hormonal changes can influence muscle mass, tendon health, bone density, recovery, sleep quality and energy levels. Whilst we can’t stop these changes, we can influence how our body adapts to them.
This is where strength training becomes one of the most powerful tools available.
Strength training helps maintain muscle mass, supports bone health, improves resilience to injury and can help preserve the physical capacity needed for the activities we enjoy.
For runners, this can mean better running economy and reduced injury risk.
For everyday life, it means maintaining confidence in what your body can do.
Recovery Principle
Strength training isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight possible.
It’s about maintaining the capacity to do the things that matter to you for years to come.
