Or is there a way I can train, eat, and rest to be able to perform on the big day? For some weird reason, this topic is a taboo in sports – and it shouldn't be! Let's open the discussion and normalize talking about it.

   • Training Around Your Menstrual Cycle  

Runna – the app I'm using to train for halfmarathon – bit.ly/GetRunnaFreeFor2Weeks
Disclaimer: I'm not paid to promote it, but I get asked about it a lot. By clicking on the link you unlock a 2 week free trial, so you can try it for yourself. Normally you just get a week.

Hi, I'm Lenka, a belowaverage runner who went through a burnout. I decided to turn my life around and running is helping me get into shape again. Be kind, I have very little videomaking experience and my filming tech is an old iPhone with a cracked screen, haha. Fancy, I know!
