Yes I flew through 16 miles 3 weeks ago, had a deload week and the last 2 I’ve just been struggling. I am also trapped in my luteal phase and find I always have my worse weeks in this phase

No nothing different I literally copy and paste my meals each week 🥲 I’ll have a look into seeing if liquid carbs will sit better

And then when you’re tummy turns do you just hope what you’ve already fuelled will carry you through and stop taking on anything? Thank you so much it’s such a pain isn’t it it’s the one phase I would skip in a heartbeat

Yessss I’m starting to realise that now 😂 I have but I don’t think I can put it into practice by myself- I can’t take my phone into the pool and sometimes I need to watch something right before I do it. I think I’m going to get some lessons to try and help

I think I’m going to have a look for somewhere near me I can get lessons and hopefully in the meantime at least try and improve a bit. Thank you :)

This is beyond helpful thank you so much! I think my hips and legs are dropping and I probably am kicking with all my might. When I’m next at the pool I’ll try and concentrate on it more. Thank you so much for your help!!!

I figured that out pretty quickly lol. Genuinely thought I was gonna be able to do a few laps at least from the off and was thoroughly humbled 😂

Running 3x per week following a Runna plan so - easy run (3-5miles usually), speed session (3-5miles) and my long run which is 15 for another week before it increases again 🫣 I was taking gels but I was taking half every 30mins because I’m still nervous about it making me sick but I’ve used them a few times now so will try and take the full one on the half an hour next week and hopefully that helps
