That special time...

[jeangenie]

Curious. How do you structure your training around your period time (assuming your BF isnt so low you are missing them)...

The day before = FATIGUE. Cardio almost always suffers by like 50%
I find that on day 1 I can almost never do ANYTHING strenous.
Day 2 is usally a challenge, but do-able. After that alls well.

Do you guys scale back your routines at all, or skip? is there any truth to the old wives tale that your metabolism increases dramatically during the first few days? Has anyone ever tried to "use" this factor in their training cycles?
