The Autoimmune Athlete Training Guide
Learn How To Train WITH Your Body
If You’ve ever wondered…
Can I still be an athlete with an autoimmune condition?
How do I know when to push vs. when to rest?
Why does traditional training leave me flared up?
Is it possible to run consistently without triggering symptoms?
You’re in the right place.
As someone who’s completed 14 marathons while managing lupus, I created this guide for YOU - the autoimmune athlete who refuses to give up on movement, but needs a smarter approach.
WHAT’S INSIDE THIS FREE GUIDE:
✅ Training Readiness Assessment — Know when your body is ready to train (and when it needs rest)
✅ Sample Adaptive Training Week — See how to adjust your plan based on energy and symptoms
✅ Recovery Checklist — The daily non-negotiables for autoimmune athletes
✅ Symptom Tracking Template — Identify patterns between training and flares
✅ When to Rest vs. Push Guide — Make confident decisions about your training
✅ BONUS: Anti-Inflammatory Fueling Tips — What to eat before, during, and after training
This is everything I wish I had when I was first diagnosed.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
This guide is perfect for you if:
🏃 You have an autoimmune condition and want to return to running/training
💪You're tired of "all or nothing" training that leads to flares
🧠You want to understand YOUR body's capacity
📊You need a framework for adaptive training
❤️You're ready to train with compassion, not punishment
what you’ll learn:
Stop guessing. Start training strategically.
This guide teaches you:
→ How to assess your training readiness WEEKLY (not just once)
→ The exact framework I use with my autoimmune athlete clients
→ How to modify training plans based on symptoms and energy

→ How to fuel for performance AND inflammation management
This is the roadmap I followed to go from "you might never run again" to 14 marathons.

ABOUT YOUR COACH:
Hi, I’m Mireille!
I’m an AIP Certified Coach, USATF Level 1 Running Coach, and 80/20 Certified Coach. But more importantly, I’m an autoimmune athlete living with lupus for 10+ years.
I know what it’s like to:
Be told you can’t do something because of your diagnosis
Feel betrayed by your own body
Wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again
Grieve the athlete you used to be
And I also know what it’s like to:
Complete a marathon when everyone said you couldn’t
Train consistently without flares
Trust your body again
Become STRONGER because of your condition, net despite it.
I created this guide because I wish it existed when I was diagnosed. Everything in here is what I’ve learned from my own journey and from coaching dozens of autoimmune athletes.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Download the guide and let’s get started.
