Training Around Your Menstrual Cycle

14th April 2021

If you’ve always suspected that running or working out gets harder during different parts of your menstrual cycle, you’re right. And your body also needs different nutrients as your hormones shift. But how much do you know about the different stages of your menstrual cycle and how that can affect your running?

Anna’s got tons of info about how to track your cycle, the types of training that’s beneficial at different stages and the nutrients your body needs at different times of the month.

Men… don’t switch off – we hope there’s important stuff in here for you if you run with us women – or even more importantly if you’re involved in coaching at any level.
