In this episode, I catch up with my longtime friend Steffi Platt — a former elite middle-distance runner and two-time German champion — who has since become a powerful advocate for women’s health, cycle-informed training, and inclusive running culture. We met nearly a decade ago through Nike Run Club in Berlin, and her journey since then has been both inspiring and transformative.
Together we dive into the creation of FIERCE RUN FORCE, the Berlin-based running community she founded to empower FLINTA* individuals through menstrual cycle–aligned training and holistic coaching.
• 🏃♀️ Steffi’s evolution from pro runner to inclusive coach
• 🌕 The power of cycle-based training and hormone-aware movement
• 💥 Building community and breaking taboos in women’s health
• 🔮 What’s next for Fierce Run Force and Steffi’s mission
What would training look like if it truly honored the female body? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
