Run-Cycle-Strong
Program starts September 29 with our Kickoff Call
A 6-week coaching program for Women Runners and Cyclists 40+ to create your fueling plan that improves your energy, avoids GI distress, and the tools to avoid FOGO (fear of getting old and opting out of adventures). Designed so you can keep chasing PRs and adventures with no more second-guessing, no matter if you're looking to complete or compete.
Who this Program is For:
Run-Cycle-Strong is for Women Cyclists & Runners 40+ who are looking for expert guidance around fueling, recovery, and event/race preparation that aligns with their goals and changing bodies.
Whether you’re training for your first event, trying to improve the experience of the ones you already do, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more supported in your sport, this program was designed to help you prepare with less second-guessing and more trust in your approach.
Inside the program, we’ll focus on the key pieces that are often overlooked in endurance training so you can better support your energy, recovery, mindset, and overall event day experience.
The 3 Pillars of Run-Cycle-Strong
Whether you’re newer to endurance sport, dealing with issues like GI distress, energy crashes, or inconsistent recovery, or questioning how your changing body fits into the sport you love, this program focuses on the pieces that most women are left trying to figure out on their own.
PILLAR #1
Fueling & Hydration
Fueling for endurance sports can feel overwhelming fast, especially with so much confusing online advice. Coach Dina will help you build a more personalized approach to fueling, hydration, recovery, supplements, and sports nutrition so you can better support your energy, training, and event day experience.
PILLAR #2
Smarter Recovery
Many women assume they simply need to train harder when energy, recovery, or performance starts to feel different. Dina & Kristin will help you better understand how fueling, recovery, stress, and training support work together so your body feels more supported through the process.
PILLAR #3
Mental Readiness
Preparation is more than physical training. Coach Kristin will help you build the type of confidence that supports your version of performance, along with practical mental performance tools to improve focus, adaptability, and a calmer approach to training and event day.
The missing piece:
For many women in their 40s and beyond, the missing piece isn’t more discipline or logging more miles.
Most active and athletic women aren't fueling enough, let alone optimally, and that gap affects everything from training adaptation to recovery to how you feel crossing a finish line. Run-Cycle-Strong bridges that gap so that your nutrition, mindset, and training finally work together.
Run-Cycle-Strong is built for women who say YES to their bold adventures and are ready for the fueling and focus to match.
What Sets Run-Cycle-Strong Apart:
- A clear performance and fueling framework you'll actually use, not another generic plan
- Mental performance tools to keep your head in the game when training and event day get hard
- Practical, age-aligned strategies built around peri- and postmenopause
- A supportive experience that honors your goals, no matter whether you’re riding or running to complete or compete
- Designed & led by two women endurance athletes and health practitioners who are living this midlife chapter alongside you: a Sports Dietitian and a certified coach trained in mental performance
What You'll Walk Away With:
- A personalized fueling plan tailored to your needs, food preferences, your goals, and your body
- Recovery and supplement strategies that support your goals while minimizing injury and maximizing performance
- Mental performance tools for staying calm, focused, and confident
- A specific plan leading into your event you refine and trust so you can better enjoy your event experience
What some of our previous RCS participants have to say...
"The practical nutrition lessons were so valuable, and I have a better awareness of how fueling and hydration matter, not just around training and events. It also helped me see myself in this sport as I age. I feel more accepting of this version of myself and even excited about how I can show up in it now." -Caitlin
"Fueling and nutrition for prep and recovery made the biggest difference for me, and the case studies were so useful and relatable. I loved the breakout group we did in one of the lessons. It's 100% worth it. I'm always learning when I'm in one of Dina and Kristin's programs." -Lil
"I'd recommend Run-Cycle-Strong to anyone. For friends really focused on training and performance, I'd recommend it without reservation. I went from feeling confused about what to try to feeling clear about specific things to try, both in nutrition and mindset, in a more intentional way." -Julie

Meet Your Coaches
Meet Dina
I'm a Board Certified Sports Dietitian and endurance athlete with over 17 years helping active women build nutrition strategies that hold up in training and on race day (or our cherished adventures).
I like to call myself an adult onset athlete and a proud member of the midlife athletic club. I came to running in my late 20s and found my way from marathons to trails, triathlons, and cycling events along the way. At 53, I finished my second 100-mile ultramarathon. A few months later, a ski accident and two knee surgeries shifted my focus toward rebuilding strength and durability.
This has deepened my compassion for the women I work with when the unexpected forces us to adapt and recalibrate, especially on top of menopause and aging in our culture.
I know what it’s like to have big goals and to adjust when your body or circumstances change. In Run-Cycle-Strong, I’ll help you look closely at what you need now, so you can keep pursuing the runs, rides, and adventures that matter to you. We aren’t done yet!
Meet Kristin
I’m a Mental Performance Coach, Licensed Professional Counselor, and competitive gravel cyclist, racing 100-mile events with multiple age group podium finishes.
I didn’t grow up as an athlete. My path started in my 20s with mountaineering (including Denali), followed by over a decade of marathon running and coaching. After a long-term hip injury, I eventually transitioned to cycling—an experience that forced me to rethink what performance, identity, and longevity really look like.
Like many women, I’ve navigated the midlife shifts—changes in recovery, fueling, and energy—and learned that doing more isn’t the answer. Training smarter, fueling well, and developing the right mindset is what allows you to keep showing up.
That perspective shapes the work I do now. I help active women train with intention, build confidence, and develop the mental skills needed to perform consistently—so they can stay strong, capable, and connected to the sports they love for the long run.
