Tonight, I was doing my usual gym routine as part of weekday marathon training. Though this is already the start of tapering weeks, I still have to push myself as there are few days left to the race day.
This is one of many disadvantages of being a woman that I cannot avoid. I believe, like any muscle in our body, this is one aspect a woman should also include in her training - how to survive a workout and a marathon race even while having her period.
A lot of times that this happened to me, yet I can't say that I have mastered it. I actually avoid the situation when possible. But when it's not like today, I have to think very hard how I want to get into the body condition that I needed for the marathon, so I get my body follow what is being required. It will just be an hour in the gym that I needed to endure anyway.
I'm still alive! |
