Women Specific Training

It is often shown that sports science has ignored women when it comes to sports science. A casing point is the inequality in prizemoney, the time it took before women were “permitted” to race a marathon, the ongoing debate on tennis sets, cross-country distances and a woman’s Tour de France. Many of the “classic” training

approaches for “athletes” haven’t been truly tested for women. As a result, it is fair to suggest that women have been given a disservice when it comes to training and coaching, with nearly all of the science being based on men. I believe we can and should do better. Thankfully, we are at a point when things are changing.
