from The Fuelled Female · host Poppy Hawe

If your training suddenly feels harder than it used to — you're more tired, your sessions feel heavier, and your progress has stalled — this episode is for you.Because the problem is rarely a lack of discipline.It's usually a mismatch between your training load and the support your body is getting.In this episode, I break down the real reasons training starts to feel harder, including:Under-fuelling around trainingDoing too many high-intensity sessionsModern-day stress and mental loadTrying to train like an athlete while still eating like you're dietingI also share the story of a client who went from training nine sessions a week and burning out to training smarter, fuelling properly, losing weight, and hitting a 10K PB of 46 minutes.This episode will help you understand:Why fatigue isn’t a motivation problemHow diet culture quietly sabotages performanceThe difference between discipline and supportAnd how to fuel for the work requiredIf you're training hard but not progressing, this is the conversation you need to hear.Reach out on instagram @poppy.nfc if this resonated with you!
