In this candid episode of the She Runs Strong podcast, Coach Shona Hendricks becomes the case study herself, sharing personal body composition results that left her surprised—and frustrated. Despite consistent strength training and disciplined running in preparation for the Two Oceans Ultramarathon, Shona lost muscle mass instead of fat.
📉 So what went wrong?
Together with resident dietician Nicky de Villiers and co-host Nikki Friedman, they unpack the surprising real reason behind muscle loss in female endurance athletes: under-fueling.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why energy balance matters more than you think
✅ The role of protein (and how much you really need)
✅ How appetite can be misleading during heavy training
✅ Easy ways to prep and plan high-protein meals/snacks
If you’re a female runner over 40, this conversation is a must-listen. It will help you avoid the same mistakes—and keep your training on track without sabotaging your body composition goals.
