Hi Ladies,
Can anyone help me here? I've followed several threads here regarding pregnancy & training, and fertility & training. I've asked my Fertility doc, my regular doc. Does anyone have any idea HOW MUCH training is too much for someone struggling with unexplained infertility? My cycles are normal, my body fat is normal/average, my diet is above-average, my dear hubby's numbers are excellent.
I'm going to make an *assumption* that training hard for IM's (ie, trying to qualify for Kona) could potentially be too much.
What about half IM's? Training hard vs. training "to have a fun race"?
What about training hard for Oly's? Or, again, just training to have fun?
I took the entire race season off last year and went through several rounds of fertility treatments. While I'm still not pregnant, and while I would consider choosing pregnancy over training for IM's a no-brainer... I would like to do *something*. My husband is training hard and I want to join him in a few races this year. But I can't find a solid answer to help guide my training volume and race plan.
Any advice, stories, examples, personal history, would be completely appreciated!
