Female physiology
Most coaching content is written for the average male athlete and silently assumes that everyone else can use the same recipe. Female athletes have a fundamentally different hormonal landscape, different recovery patterns, different injury risks, and different fueling needs. CoachUpFit treats those differences as inputs, not afterthoughts.
What changes across follicular, ovulation, luteal and bleed phases — and the small, evidence-based adjustments that actually help. No pseudoscience.
How oestrogen and progesterone changes affect endurance, strength, body composition and injury risk — and the training shifts that preserve performance through the transition.
What you can keep doing, what you should modify, and the realistic timeline for returning to running after birth. Pelvic floor, diastasis recti, breastfeeding — covered honestly.
RED-S — Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport — affects a huge share of competitive female athletes. Recognising it, fixing it, and how it shows up in Garmin HRV and Body Battery data.
Female-specific endurance research is still small, but it is growing fast. The published literature on training-around-cycle is now solid enough to make practical recommendations — even though most coaching platforms still ignore it.
CoachUpFit's adaptation engine takes cycle phase, perimenopausal symptoms, and energy-availability signals as inputs alongside HRV, sleep and load. This hub is the public-facing explanation of how and why.
The content is conservative, evidence-based, and honest about what's known vs unknown. Sports science around female physiology is decades behind male physiology and gaps remain. Where the evidence is thin, we say so.
CoachUpFit logs menstrual cycle phase and uses it alongside HRV, sleep, and load to adjust your week. Free for 7 days, then $20/month.
Educational content based on peer-reviewed sports-medicine literature. Not a substitute for in-person evaluation by a sports physician, gynaecologist, or physiotherapist. Pregnancy and postpartum especially require individual clinical follow-up.
