In this Episode

Our special guest this week for More Women More Miles likely needs little introduction in the gravel cycling world. We are joined by writer, cyclist, and host of the Hit Play Not Pau

se Podcast, Selene Yeager. Selene brings her wealth of knowledge on female physiology and hormones, and how we can tailor our training for Unbound Gravel accordingly. This episode gives us a broad overview of hormones in the female life cycle, starting from regular menstruation, through perimenopause, menopause and post menopause. Selene explains how our hormones affect our whole bodies as a system, and how we can structure our training and fueling to adjust for shifts in physiology during different times in your cycle and lifespan. She also gives some of her other best tips and tricks for women to stay comfortable while riding hundreds of miles across the Flint Hills.
