TMI: Do you run when..?
Aunt Flo visits. She came for a visit after my moring run. Tomorrow I will be in pain. Because I am new to running, (and I've been pregnant for what seems like forever-2yrs in a row), I've never ran with Aunt Flo-just weight trained. I'm going to try Advil and assume that and the run will help my cramps. Do you proceed as usual with your run at this time?

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
I do not .. My cycle is all messed up and I have to take meds to bring it on so when it comes its very bad and I have to take a few days off. See how you feel. If you have to miss a few days just get back into it when you feel up to it. In the meantime just weight train.

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
Yup. I usually feel less motivated to go running to begin with, but once I get going, it doesn't interfere with the workout itself.

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
Yes. It would never occur to me not to run when I have AF. The only exception was when I was younger - I used to actually get physically sick when I had AF.

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
never think about it, just keep going.
They say that running/exercise helps with the symptoms...i definitely find that. I have been running before AF though. I have never had bad cramps or heavy flow - often just 2-3 days. I could just be lucky...or there is truth in it.

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
I actually got AF the afternoon before I was to run a half marathon. I was so annoyed, especially since I had not gotten it for 11 months (yes, 11 months - post baby). You can only imagine how heavy it was. Anyway, I ran my fastest half marathon!! So after that, it doesn't faze me!!

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
Yes, during my period is fine, but the week before is very difficult... I get bad cramps during my run & have to stop (This only happens in the week or so before my period, very annoying!)

Me too. I was hesitant to exercise (I do C25K and Zumba) b/c I get really bad cramps, but once I started it actually made me feel better.

Re: TMI: Do you run when..?
Thank you ladies! I actually achieved two firsts this morning. I ran on day 2 of Aunt Flo and was cramping like crazy also it was raining lightly. Never have I ran under either condition. My cramps felt better after the run and a run in the light rain was so refreshing. Thank you so much for your feedback!

I do exercise everyday and feel better after doing it.

same. I was bleeding like a stuck pig when I ran the half. It was day 2 and felt awful.but when I saw I was capable of running 13.1 miles even like that, i realized I had mo excuses in the future!
