Smurf and Smurfette are endurance athletes, juggling their professional careers as an Educational Leader and a Doctor with endurance training. This week, we welcome Amy Kate Bowe - a coach, mentor, health professional and athlete who works in many areas of exercise and nutrition. For this podcast, we talk with Amy about a specific area of expertise for her, female athletes and training with their cycle. We cover;

Who Amy is and her journey to developing the framework of the "Red Umbrella"
What the Red Umbrella is and how to nourish it
How the female menstruation cycle works and the different stages
Training WITH the cycle and natural biology rather than working against it
What kind of training is best at specific times of the cycle
Fuelling training, specifically around the menstruation cycle
Race day and what to do when a race lands at specific points of the cycle
