A member asked:

I haven't been running for a while but if i start again i run like 4 miles a day would it delay my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Running and Menses: Yes long distance running can effect your periods although it is unlikely if you are running 4 miles a day. Usually this happens in long distance runners particularly in woman who have very low body fat. If it does occur with you see your doctor who can help.
