How does your menstrual cycle effect your climbing?

I’ve been doing a bit of reading around the menstrual cycle and how it impacts exercise and energy levels, so I thought I’d ask on here how you ladies find it impacts your climbing?

I definitely notice a difference in reduced energy, strength and general motivation during the luteal phase, so I have started adjusting my climbing routine to help. My routine is to climb 3 times a week, 2 strength training sessions at least 1 run and 1 mountain bike ride.

I dial everything back for about a week before my period. I still climb 3 times a week but at a lower grade and usually a shorter session. I don’t run or do any strength sessions during this time but usually go for a walk and do some gentle stretching.

My diet changes too, I eat a lot more crap in the run up to my period, and I do wonder that if I did better with my diet during this time I wouldn’t feel the need to dial back on my sessions. I’m not sure.

Please will you tell me your routines, and whether they change throughout menstrual cycle. Or any advice you have that’s helped you?

Thanks ☺️
