Hey

Recently, gravel pro Carolin Schiff shocked the cycling world by ending her 2025 season early.

Not because of a crash or illness, but because her body simply couldn’t cope anymore. She’d been pushing through signs of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)—low bone density, recurring injuries, missed menstrual cycles, and constant fatigue.

On the outside, she looked lean and race-ready. But on the inside, her body was breaking down. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: this isn’t just a “pro cyclist” problem.

Everyday riders—especially those of us over 40—can fall into the same trap when we chase weight loss the wrong way.
