How Your Period Affects Running

If you are a female between 12 and 51 years old and reading this, you probably have a period (unless of course you're pregnant, nursing or have had body parts removed). If you are a male of any age and are reading this, you might be (negatively?) affected by a female in your life who has a period.

Do you ever wonder how that time of the month affects your (or your girlfriend’s, wife’s, mother’s) running? I was very curious about this so my period and I decided to do some research. I cannot believe I didn’t learn this stuff earlier because it sure explains a lot of shitty and glorious runs.

How Your Period Can Affect Running

  • You Swell and Heat Up. During ovulation (mid-cycle or so) progesterone levels peak. This can cause you to retain water (bloating) and increase your body temperature. So, hell yes we are irritable! If you are running in the heat during this time of the month, you should pay extra attention to hydration and to dressing even cooler than you normally would.

  • You Might Be a Speedy Rock Star Some Days. During the first 13 days of your cycle, estrogen is at its lowest. This means your body uses carbs as the primary fuel source. Typically, tempo and speed workouts will be stronger during this part of your cycle (because your body is quickly breaking down glycogen for fast energy).
  • Days 14-27 Might Feel Sluggish. On day 14, estrogen peaks and remains high until your period starts on day 28. Higher levels of estrogen mean that your body uses fat for fuel and is more efficient when running longer, slower distances. Speed or tempo work may feel more challenging during this time. (Read more info on how estrogen levels affect performance HERE). Heart rates may also be higher during this time.
  • You May Lose Fe (Iron): While in the midst of your period itself, you will be losing iron, because you are losing blood. This can lead to anemia, which causes fatigue. If you can’t kick the feeling of being tired, see your doctor and have your levels checked.
  • Things May Shift. Starting training or a new exercise regimen can change your cycle. This could be due to a lack of body fat (if you get under 12%, your periods can stop – amenorrhea). In addition, “Ghrelin, a hormone that may reduce secretion of other hormones that regulate menstrual function, tends to be higher in athletic women (source).”  If your period becomes very irregular, slows or stops completely, definitely see a doctor (and have a cheeseburger).

How to Minimize the Negative Effects of Your MC While Running

  • Keep It Up. First of all, don’t stop exercising during PMS or your period. If you have side effects such as cramping, back pain, nausea, nastiness and fatigue, running or exercise in general can decrease these conditions. This is because exercise increases blood flow and the release of endorphins, which can lessen physical symptoms as well as your f&%king depressed mood (source).

  • Write It Down. Keep a journal for a few months of your high energy vs. sluggish runs. See if you find a pattern and plan training intensities and races accordingly. Include heart rate stats if you can. Some people may want to plan to run longer races like marathons during the 14-27 day phase and shorter races during the 5-13 day phase given the way that their bodies use fuel during those times.
  • Try the Cup. If you are running a very long race and don’t want to carry a tampon or take the time to change it, consider a Diva Cup.  Great stocking stuffer!
  • Watch the Doritos. PMS symptoms are made worse if you eat a poor diet.  Be sure to ingest foods rich in magnesium, B-Complex and calcium – things like dairy, green leafy veggies, whole grains, nuts, fish, and beans.

  • Hide It. Wear dark colored tights or shorts while you run. Duh. Whoever invented white tights should be shot.
  • Prepare for the Worst. Many times GI distress accompanies a period. Know that you might feel the urge to fart, poop or vomit more while running. Plan accordingly.
  • Dress the Part. If all else fails, just embrace your inner period and run in a tampon costume (by the way, I wouldn't recommend Googling “tampon costumes.” Gross).

 

Seems the string is in the wrong place. Costume probably invented by a man.

{For a more scientific look at all of this, read Running Time’s “How Menstruation Affects Your Running”}.

Do you notice a difference in your running performance at certain times of the month?

  3. I used to have the most awful cramps during that time of the month...to the point where I had to lay in bed in the fetal position with a heating pad. Since I started running, cramps are a thing of the past...my period is now just an annoyance. I have even PR'd a hilly half marathon the day I started...

  5. If I have bad cramps I run because it always helps shake things around. I'm going to be talking to my doctor about going on the pill so I can control when it comes around (ie: not the day before a big race). I have a few friends who have been doing this for several years with success. Obviously this isn't a good choice for everyone (hence the visit with my doctor).

  7. How on earth can a menstrual cup help you if you pee yourself??

    ReplyDelete
  8. OMG, when I read that I realized menopause isn't so bad after all.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Since this is SUAR, I don't feel that it is inappropriate to say that my, uh, bathroom problems are always worse the first couple days of my period. ::shakes fist:: Exacerbated by tampons that sometimes shift around and seem to, er, press on uncomfortable areas. It sucks. I also tend to have more joint pain and injury issues right around PMS time and first couple of days of cycle. Essentially my running hates my period. Except that it does seem to help with cramps. So it's a love-hate thing.

  15. I was just thinking about this the other day. It's been uncanny how many races I've run this year that have coincided with the first couple of days of my period. It's inconvenient, but I'm beginning to wonder if I might end up having higher pain tolerance (with both menstrual cramps and running pain) as a result.

  20. I have noticed that my period always starts the day after a long hard run now...I'm glad because it's over before the next long run and I HATE running with a tampon in. I do notice all the cycle changes affect my runs though...the water retention makes me a bit sluggish and when my breasts are tender...ouch! I concur about running keeping the cramps away!

    Today was a pms run. I was slow as dirt and argued with my running partner (hubby) the entire time. Well, alternated between arguing and apologizing. He finally got a clue around mile 4... I didn't catch on until several hours later. Dang middle age! Lately, I never know when the pms monster is going to strike.

  24. I had endometriosis and the Diva Cup was a Godsend for me. I loved it. I was a user of BC tampons before, so the ick factor didn't bother me. And to never have to worry about not having tampons. My cramps were less painful too.

    Had a hysterectomy four years ago and I got to keep my left ovary. I still have PMS, but without the red river.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I don't get periods anymore. I had a partial hysterectomy three years ago. The best thing I have ever done. EVER. I do get ovarian cysts that rupture every 2 months or so. Yesterday, I ran 13.1 with a ruptured cyst and I flipped the bird at said cyst with a 7 minute PR. I spent the rest of the day on the couch with my heating pad hopped up on prescribed pain meds.

  26. I think running is the best remedy against PMS. I don't really notice how my period affects my running. Sometimes my runs are easy, and sometimes they're difficult. There doesn't seem to be a pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yeah, I'm kinda lucky bc I had a hysterectomy a few years ago so I don't have periods anymore but I still kinda do bc I still have my ovaries so I get all weird and hormonal but I just don't bleed....which can be very confusing for me bc I never know when to expect it. It helps when I sync with my best friend bc I can just ask her if we are on our period and then it explains my chocolate cravings and acne. LOL But yeah, I need to pay attention to how it affect my running.

  28. I have been using a diva cup for 8 years and it is AWESOME. Even heaviest days, I don't neddvto empty it for 12 hours. And if you sports leak, it does put the right pressure somewhere to stop that.

  31. I pray monthly for a hysterectomy. I am miserable, and only want the world to go away. That being said, my son, my mother, my job, they all disagree with me, so I pull on my big girl panties and deal with it. But I keep begging my gyn for it every year! Only ten more years to go and I should be through with it.

  32. I use the Instead cups and love em. Just like Diva cup but shorter time frame, and cheaper material so you can only wash and reuse them so many times. But they work great for runs.

    My problem is I get the bloat and the gas -I have to say it - period farts are the funniest.

    Espectially when running, you toot toot toot with each footfall. My poor husband is out-tooted during ttom.

    Also have to make woods breaks. Thank goddess I live in a rural area.

    Day before my period I am sluggish. But I do find that like, day two or three, I become a speed demon. AFTER the bloat goes.

  35. I started using a Diva Cup about 6 months ago. Never going back. It takes a few cycles to really get used to it but I really like it.

    My workout schedule becomes more spotty (excuse the pun) when I'm on my period. I'm more likely to skip it if I'm on my period, but I've got to get over that.

  36. I'm 42, and done having children, so I had an ablation done in my gyn's office. BEST THING EVER! No more periods! My hormones weren't affected by the surgery, so I have some PMS symptoms still, but they seem much, much milder, and not having to deal with actual menstruation is awesome!! My workouts are so much easier all around now!

    ReplyDelete
  37. So if you're 52 and still menstruating does none of this apply? :) Diva cup user. Headed into menopause until my girl child achieved menarche and that must have kicked started my hormones back into production. But since I'm 52 I'm guessing none of the post applies? :)

  41. Just ran a half marathon this morning and my period started last night. It sucked. I took Immodium to make sure I didn't have "period diarrhea" (get it all the time). My stomach was crampy and uncomfortable. Everything hurt. My legs were achy once I hit mile 9. Had to add walk breaks in. I will go out of my way to not do a race at the start of my period. In general the first couples days, running or not, kill me.

  43. I am trying to prepare for my first half marathon this Saturday. I think my period will start just then. Read about the Diva Cup. Sounds like a good idea. But what do you do with peeing? Do you have to change to a new cup? Any information helps. Thanks, Elephant.

    1. This is a little after the fact, but I feel this is very important. Your urine comes through your urethra, which is separate and apart from your vagina, where the blood comes from. So, no, you don't have to change the cup after you urinate, although I like to do it for general timing/comfort.

  48. I am a runner and my mum always tells me to stop running while I'm on my period because it will negatively affect my uterus and will have problems in childbirth in the future (thats what she said). I know it's some sort of old wives' tale or something and I don't believe it because I haven't seen any scientific article about it but I can't stop worrying. I wouldn't stop running anyway.
