#55 - Nuances of HIIT Based Strength Training & Running

Maximizing Fitness, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause

In this episode, learn practical science-backed tips for recreational female runners. As a leading health, fitness, and women's integrative health expert, Louise clears up fitness myths and highlights why specific strength training strategies are key for women 35 and older. She explains why traditional high-intensity strength and cardio workouts may not be the best for runners, who already deal with high stress from endurance training. Instead, she recommends a balanced approach that includes targeted strength training, hormone-friendly running, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments.

Listeners will learn how to manage stress, select running-specific exercises to prevent injury, and maximize energy, muscle, and fat loss. Louise also introduces the Breaking Through Wellness membership, offering runners and active women customized resources like metabolic conditioning, sports nutrition timing, integrative women's health education, done-for-you strength training workouts, strategic running programs for females, and coaching calls to optimize performance and well-being age 35 and beyond.
