An athlete does not need to reduce her training to avoid Triad or to resume normal menstrual cycles if she is amenorrheic (not menstruating). Many assume that the athlete must reduce exercise in order to avoid Triad, but the fact is that most athletes can effectively address Triad-related health problems with adequate nutrition. That said, if training can be reduced by adding one day of rest per week, resumption of normal menstruation will likely occur more quickly.
