Who Am I and Why Listen to Me?
I'm Nicky Edwards, a Physiotherapist of almost 20 years. I am mum to my two gorgeous children age 7 and 13. I play hockey and am a crazy runner who loves a race medal and running for charity.
I've run the London Marathon 5 times, the New York Marathon and the Berlin marathon. In 2024 I ran the London Marathon just over 9 weeks after lung surgery! I have been part of the medical team at the London Marathon, so have experienced marathons from both sides of the fence.
My favourite running buddy is Cheyne, my beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer.
​
As someone who started running later in life, I know the struggles faced when starting out. I know how much you want to get started and how frustrating it is that “life” gets in the way. That is why I am passionate about helping other women start, and stay on track, with their running journey.
I help women age 40+ run faster, further & stronger and stay injury free by training in harmony with their female physiology. We lead crazy busy lives, so I teach women to train SMARTER not harder and still SMASH their goals!
I've worked with the London Marathon, speaking at their 'Meet Our Experts' Day and on the Centre Stage at the London Marathon Running Show. I speak about how to prevent injuries, marathon training, female specific training, perimenopause and menopause as well as how to stay safe while running.
​
I volunteer for the charity Children with Cancer UK supporting over 1200 marathon runners to ensure everyone gets to the start line of the London Marathon every year.
​
I'm an experienced public speaker and speak at large running events such as the National Running Show, on topics such as training, nutrition, hydration, women's health, overcoming adversity and mindset.
​
When I turned 40 in 2020, it dawned on me that I was entering a new chapter in my life and menopause was looming. Sadly menopause continues to be a taboo subject, and although things are improving as more celebrities are talking about it in public, there continues to be a lack of information, education and support for women in the years leading up to and following menopause.
​
This is something that I am passionate about changing. I want ALL women to know about menopause, how it may impact them, an what they can do to help themselves.
Being estranged from my mother, I have absolutely no life experience to drawn upon. I have no idea what age she went through the menopause or what symptoms she had. If I had not discovered a passion for this topic I would be blindly heading towards menopause absolutely clueless! I do not want this for myself, or anyone else. Hence my passion to educate as many people as I possibly can.
​
Don't let menopause slow you down.
Don't let menopause control your life.
Let's Outrun The Menopause!
