I went to the gym very early today and only women were there for the first hour or so. It made me wonder about circadian differences between men and women, so I looked it up and found this interesting info: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1010666108

Maybe I should lift early more often. 🤔

@Antiquixotic That's really interesting. I never thought about it, but did notice I am extremely sensitive to time of day, and it has got worse as I've got older. Around 230pm I might as well just go to sleep.

@Antiquixotic That's a great idea. We should do that.

@sullybiker Circadian rhythms are really interesting. I mostly follow the advice of this trainer attached below regarding my daily lifting schedule, but now that I read that article above, I might need to try lifting sooner and see if my personal rhythm responds better. https://mennohenselmans.com/best-time-to-work-out/

@Antiquixotic Trainer Road (big data-driven cycling nerds) wanted to start capturing menstruation data because they felt it was a big hole in their plans for Women. They think it all has an affect.

@sullybiker For sure. Research about women and physical activity is lacking across all sports. I ended up following that trainer because he wrote about women training to their advantage with their cycles.

@Antiquixotic TR are similar but they suffer a bit from not-invented-here syndrome, in that they tend to be a bit huffy about research they didn't pull off themselves. The arguments about interval training are *intense*.
