105. Speed v. Volume, Hydration Reviews, and Data Periodization
Data Periodization
- Practice data periodization; don't always wear wearables.
- Avoid data anxiety by limiting constant tracking.
Anovulatory Cycles
- Anovulatory cycles are common, especially in athletes.
- Focus on energy availability for optimal menstrual health.
Menstrual Cycle and Training
- Tailoring training solely to the menstrual cycle is not generally recommended.
- Individual variations and other factors are more influential.
We witnessed some real-life Twitter beefs before talking about 3 things we learned at the American College of Sports Medicine conference, data periodization and how to maintain joy while learning more about your body, athletics before GPS, our love/hate list for hydration products, a new study on increasing easy volume versus adding hard intensity, recent research on the menstrual cycle and training, and the mind-altering power of a cold Coca Cola.
