Great point, legeleagle-
But there are times when it could be needed. For example, if I talk about a pre- or post-workout stretch then want to discuss what happens during the workout, I could use the word "during." But I am wondering if there is another way to say that. Maybe there isn't...

"Pre" means before IN TIME or ORDER, and "post" means after IN TIME or ORDER, so no prefix is required to denote DURING. Example: "Pre-adolescence" is the time before adolescence, "post-adolescence" is the time after adolescence, and "adolescence" is the time during adolescence.

Post Prefix

"Peri-," "intra-," and "mid-" are the closest options I can think of, but they don't exactly denote "during." Of the three, if you must use one, "peri-" probably works best. But remember, you risk appearing pretentious--or confusing readers--by using a term like "peri-workout." Considering the subject and, likely, your need to appeal to the average reader, use phrasing such as "while/when working out," "during your workout," "as you work out," etc. If you find something else, let us know.

RE:
If "pre" means "before" and "post" means "after," what's the prefix that means "during"?

It's actually a suffix, -ing.

There isn't one.
You mean the suffix, -ing.

I think sometimes "trans-" might work.
