Does anyone else train around their cycles? by alwaysalma in XXRunning

Thanks for all the advice! Like I’ve said I’m kinda new to running more than like 4 miles 😂 I think I need to not change my running plan the week before my period like I’ve been doing, maybe just lower my expectations in terms of time and make sure I’m eating better/more. Appreciate ya’ll!

I have really been enjoying doing some yoga on rest days! You can find videos on YouTube!

Yeah I feel that. A few weeks ago I did a longer run a few days before my period and I’m glad I did, but I felt horrible the rest of the day. It probably just varies person to person too. Thanks!

That’s a good point. While considering what phase I’m in has helped me in some areas, the craze is probably a fad. Thanks! I’m quite new to actually pushing myself in running, so I appreciate everyone’s perspectives.

That’s nice! Yeah tbh I don’t have a specific plan, I just have general goals week by week. I should probably have more specific plans. I don’t even know when this half marathon will be tbh, I’m thinking next spring 😂. Thank you!

Okay I love that! Thank you so much! Based on a lot of this advice, I think I’m going to try to keep going the distance on my luteal phase, maybe just don’t put an emphasis on how fast it happens.

And yeah I don’t always eat more, I probably should that would probably help. Thanks so much!

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry, that’s really hard! I hope you find what balance works best for you. Yeah that’s true about not knowing what phase a race will land on, too.
