I know a number of you are in (or going through) menopause and I was hoping to get some hopefully BDTD's. I thought I was going through menopause (no cycles and I was very regular at 28 days) and wicked hot flashes (all throughout the day and soaking the sheets at night) and then my daughter achieved menarche. I'm back to constant bleeding (it was like this just before my cycles stopped, with 4-day breaks but not heavy bleeding) and no hot flashes but what is really bothering me is my ability to recover. It seems like a paltry 100km ride or anything over 3 hours totally depletes me. I'm going to be doing 6 hour rides soon (after my HIM in 2 weeks) and I'm worried I'm going to take a week to recover from those. I did a 2-hour ride Sat, a 3.5-hour ride Sun and a 1-hr ride Tuesday and today is the first day my legs have felt okay and I think my run should be decent today.
Any ideas to recover better? Is this related to menopause (quasi in my case)? I'll be 52 in a couple weeks FWIW, have 4 kids and nursed them all through toddlerhood (and beyond for some) if that makes any difference.
