We know that running makes us healthy; the benefits are widely known and strongly evidenced. We also know that conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis become increasingly common after the menopause transition. Although the risk of developing these conditions lowers if you remain active, research shows that women over 50 tend to exercise less.

Dr Juliet McGrattan is here to help you make sense of all the benefits and challenges of running through menopause. Starting with a refresher on what actually goes on in your body during that time, she also touches on all the common symptoms to look out for before delving into topics such as energy levels, bones, muscles, skin, mental health, treatments, nutrition and more.

With digestible tips, training plans and illustrated step-by-step exercises, this is a book you can dip in and out of to find exactly what you need. You are not alone in your menopause journey, so let Juliet help you overcome your hurdles one step at a time.
