My husband and I have started to try to conceive but I'm still technically in training, potentially doing my second 70.3 of the summer in the a few weeks (though this will definitely be my "B" or even "C" race). That is, if I don't find out I'm pregnant before then. While I'd prefer to be pregnant and have to stop the intense training, I already have a base and figured I might as well get another race in. I've done a bunch of google searches for exercise and training and everyone says to continue what you are doing if you are already active, but I'm not sure that they meant continue to 50+ miles strenuous rides, interval workouts long run workouts, etc. I know I ovulated this week and I'm planning to do a long ride and long run this coming weekend so should I take it easier during this period of time? Or will I have the same chance to get pregnant whether or not I sit around or do these long workouts?
I found old ST posts from women that got pregnant AFTER races, I'm just wondering how it worked out for people BEFORE races. Basically, I figured I'd keep training and do what I'm doing until I find out I'm pregnant but I will tone it down/stop if I know that it's preventing me from getting there.
I know everyone's body is different, but I wouldn't mind hearing other advice and other people's experiences.
