The more we use our skeletal muscles, the more oxygen they need. This causes an increase in rbc count because rbcs carry the oxygen. If an athlete trains at high altitude, the rbc count will increase even more because the body compensates for the lower oxygen level at high altitude by increasing rbc count even more. This is sometimes referred to as 'packing'.

Is it normal to have two days menstrual flow in a month?

It is normal if it is normal for you. If you have always had 2 day long periods, then there is probably nothing to worry about. However, if you normally experience longer periods and now they have shortened, take a look at your everyday activities. Athletic women tend to have shorter lighter periods than non-athletic women, and things like birth control pills can have an effect on how long you bleed for. So basically if it is normal for you, count yourself lucky that you only have to bleed for 2 days.
