We are back in episode 3 to discuss the hot topic of menstrual cycle sycning. Should you change your training based on where you are in your menstrual cycle? You've probably seen things on Instagram about how you should do different workouts in different weeks based on your hormones. But does the research actually support this - and is it an effective way to train? We delve into recent research and share practical recommendations for training around your period.

Discussion points include:

- what is actually going on in your menstrual cycle?

- an overview of what the research actually says about how your menstrual cycle impacts your training

- individual approaches based on how you feel
