You Are A Big Deal with Becca Jay
64: Becky Croft: Listen to Understand, Not Listen to Fix; Invite Curiosity Into Training; EVERYONE needs to talk about Menopause!
Becky Croft (she/her) is an advocate, a runner, a menopausal athlete, a certified RRCA coach and Chi Running instructor in Oklahoma. She is a member and mentor for team Game Changers. She is a Leader of She Runs This Town, Tulsa, OK chapter. Becky is a Brooks Running Endorsed Athlete and a board member for ReNew Earth Running. She works with athletes all around the world. Her primary focus is on Masters + Menopausal athletes, however, she enjoys connecting with runners of all abilities, celebrating their victories, and helping them achieve their best through coaching + workshops. It is her goal to not only help brand new runners finish their first 5k, but for veteran athletes to reach their goals, while remaining strong + healthy. She has endured several surgeries, 2 rounds of menopause, and eventually a full hysterectomy at the age of 38 caused by Endometriosis. Becky empowers masters athletes and women navigating peri-menopause to unlock their full potential through personalized run coaching. She says NO to intermittent fasting for menopausal athletes and gives very important reasons why.
She talks about the importance of representation and resources for menopausal athletes. Becky talks about being very careful about the information you read/get about menopause. Stay curious and reach out for support. She says that menopause doesn't have an age and that it's not something scary; it's a natural transition. Partners need to LISTEN to the person having the experience and "listen to understand and not listen to fix it" because it's nothing to be fixed. Becky talks about the importance of including surgical menopause in part of the discussion. She shares how important running has been to help her work through all the things. Becky emphasizes the importance of periodizing your training and including strength training as part of your movement practice.
Becky lives on Osage, Mvskoke, Quapaw, Caddo, Kiikaapoi, Očhéthi Šakówiŋ land.
