I'm thrilled to bring you my conversation with Selene Yeager, a powerhouse in the cycling world who has evolved her career to focus on helping active women navigate menopause. As host of the "Hit Play Not Pause" podcast and content creator for Feisty Menopause, Selene brings decades of experience as a contributing editor to Bicycling Magazine, author of over two dozen books, and a background in racing and coaching.
In this interview, we discuss what women should know about peri- and post- menopause, from recognizing early symptoms to adjusting training, recovery, and nutrition. Selene shares valuable insights on strength training, saddle comfort issues, and why you should be tracking your symptoms.
Whether you're approaching peri-menopause, in the midst of it, or supporting someone who is, you'll find practical advice for maintaining performance and joy on the bike through midlife and beyond.
