I went out aiming to run for over two hours this morning, good drink of water beforehand and an orange salt chew (they put so many flavourings in you can’t taste the salt), it said to take every 30 mins or so but you have to dissolve them in your mouth and it was kind of awkward and took ages to disintegrate so I spaced the timings out. I will have more water then some breakfast and hope I do better post run than last week.

Periods do definitely affect my energy too although they are not as heavy as in earlier peri menopause when I ended up anaemic. I think the lining can thicken, something to do with hormones. Late menopauses run in my family unfortunately.
