First let me say what is happening to you is normal for female athletes in training. This is something female Olympic athletes have had to put up with as they train. Something else that you may find happen, depending on how hard you train, is if you have started your period it will stop while you are training.
Why this happens is all part of female physiology and the human bodies’ reaction when it is not getting all the nutrients it needs to function properly. Even with a well-balanced training diet athletes do not always get everything or retain enough nutrients for their body to function as it should. When an athlete trains they burn almost all they consume leaving little reserve for the body to call on when it needs. This reserve is stored in fat. Athletes in general have a very low BMI so there is little fat to draw upon. Breast tissue is almost all fat so the body will deplete this fat first.
The body is also a self-preserving organ. It will preserve the most vital organs at all cost, shutting down those organs it feels it can survive without. Your reproductive system is one the body feels it does not need to survive so it is the first organ it will shut down. Once it shuts down there is no reason for you to have a period something else the body doesn’t need to deal with. Less of it’s vital resources it needs to expend.
Now I’ve overly simplified things a bit as nothing is permanently shut down just put into hibernation so to speak. The fat it draws on can be replaced when you stop training as you saw the last time. It will happen again if you start training. What is important is that you have a proper diet and training regime to follow while you train for your race.
Hopefully you have a coach who can help you train and provide a proper diet. If you need a proper diet I suggest you ask mom or dad to take you to see a nutritionists who can put a diet together that will maximize the calories you need while training.
Good luck with your race. ]
