Because that feeling isn't normal, and it isn't your fitness.In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why long runs destroy so many women, the science of what's actually happening in your body when glycogen runs low, and the three practical changes you can make this weekend to completely transform how your long runs feel and how you recover from them.I also share a real client story — a woman who could smash a 90-minute HYROX conditioning class but fell apart on a zone two long run every single week. Same fitness. Different fuelling. Completely different outcome.If you're training for a half marathon, marathon, or just want your Sundays back — listen to this one.Message me or follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/poppy.nfc/ for more tips and answers to your questions! ⛽️ Comment FUEL under my latest Instagram post for the Run Guide that breaks down fuelling for running!
