No, that’s not what I’m saying at all, actually.

Thank you for saying that. Im being so hard on myself about this and I just need a new perspective:)

I appreciate this! Thank you!

Well, others experiences with menopause and running seem to mimic mine so maybe I’m on to something…

Thank you! I was in full menopause naturally at 36 and I can tell things have changed in my body even since then! I have a peloton as well so I cycle, run and do strength but outside is sooo freakin hard now.

I trained for 6 weeks so I didn’t just go run a 10k :) but when I started running it was “easy” and fun. Now it feels like mud and just sucks. I stayed active so I thought at least I would be slow but it would feel ok to get out there but it is so hard this time around.

Thank you!!! Part of it is that I’ve still been so active so it’s frustrating.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Thank you! You’re making me feel like I’m not crazy!!!

Thank you for this! I started menopause super early (36) and I feel lately things have changed and I don’t feel the same. I guess it will be an ebb and flow but right now I feel horrible! Weight gain, brain fog, slogginess. It’s awful. I know I’m not young but I’m also only 43 and my body acts like it’s 60!
