The Truth About Your Performance During Your Period

Have you ever felt like you finally found your groove with training like your workouts feel good, your energy is high, you’re hitting PRs and then your period shows up and suddenly the momentum you were building comes comes to a screeching halt?In this episode, I’m sharing a very real and honest conversation about something I’ve been navigating myself as I’ve stepped more fully into my identity as an athlete. As I’ve taken my training more seriously through running, swimming, Hyrox, and endurance-based goals, I’ve noticed how challenging it can be when my body asks me to slow down during certain phases of my cycle.For a long time, I viewed those lower-energy days as an interruption to my progress. But recently, I’ve been exploring a different perspective: What if my cycle isn’t getting in the way of my training? What if it’s actually part of it?In this episode, we’re talking about: • The frustration many active women feel around their cycle and performance • Why “pushing through” isn’t always the answer • The mindset shift that’s helping me stop fighting my body • What athletic maturity really looks like • How to trust that you’re not losing progress when you need more rest • The difference between training harder and training smarterIf you’ve ever felt discouraged by your changing energy levels throughout the month, this conversation is for you.Because becoming an embodied athlete isn’t about performing at your peak every single day…it’s about learning to work with your body, not against it.If this episode resonated with you, take a screenshot, share it on Instagram, and tag me @kolbyannon so I can connect with you! Want to get faster, leaner, stronger and race ready?The Embodied Athlete Experience is 1-1 high touch virtual body recomp and performance coaching program for the former athlete and woman in her 30's who wants to look, feel and perform like an athlete again after babies, injury and life.If that's you AND you have big fitness goals or want to get back into racing and competing, but are tired of trying to piece together your own plan and are ready to learn how to properly fuel and train for muscle growth, fat loss, speed, strength and performance - without the extremes - then you're in the right place.
