Training 3/24-3/30

 3/24- AM- The adrenal spike has been confirmed. Opened with a 1:58 on just B12 and NAC.  Fared no better after a scoop of Malic Acid and repeated the 1:58.  2 Thym Adren proved to be a game changer at 1:36 but that's not even close to enough to be considered respectable.  Took 3 more Thym Adren before work and will try to gradually reduce the dosage.  That's probably all for today.

PM- Didn't want to waste a beautiful day.  Forced a non-stop half mile at Montreat in 5:50 (11:40 pace) with relatively even splits.  Took no more Thym Adren and I plan to keep the dose at 5 until further notice.  It will be better tomorrow.

Distance-1.0

3/25-AM.  Got about what I expected.  Montreat Mile in 10:44 with splits of 5:28-5:16.  I doubled the distance and increased the pace by 56 seconds.  I'll take that any day.  Unfortunately if I am to run this evening, I expect to fare no better unless I take more pills.  In fact, I might be worse.  Tomorrow's dose will make it better.

PM- I was wrong.  Surprisingly, I was significantly better.  Repeated the Montreat Mile and my time is down to 9:15.  Even pace with a little something left at the end (4:40-4:35).  Is the adrenal spike beginning to die down?  Tomorrow I will cut the dosage to 4 and attempt to run 2 miles.

Distance-2.0

3/26-AM- Began to feel different yesterday evening.  By bed time, I had a strong feeling that the Thym Adren needed to be eliminated altogether.  Unfortunately, I had to confirm it.

Opened with an 85 then improved to 81 on NAC and B12.  Clearly able to tolerate higher doses thanks to Malic Acid.  I may not even need Melatonin going forward.  This pace felt sustainable and am confident that I would have been well below 9:15 over a full Mile.  

Took just 2 Thym Adren instead of the planned 4 and got an immediate negative reaction.  Slipped to 1:50 on the next interval.  If I am to run this evening, it will be ugly.

PM- Not as ugly as I expected.  Half mile at Montreat in 4:38 (9:16 pace).  Figure 9:30ish for a full Mile.  The 3rd interval this morning was 11:00 pace.  Less than 12 hours later and I am better already.  Sadly, I won't be the least bit surprised if I need Thym Adren again next week.  Switching back to the modulator is an option.

3/27- Well, I know why my system rejected Thym Adren this time.  It was the lack of TMG, which I thought I no longer needed.  Wrong!  As soon as I took it again, the adrenal spike kicked in with a VENGEANCE.  Good thing I have an extra bottle in my cabinet.   

1 Mile on Lakeshore in 11:58 with splits of 5:50-6:08.  This spike won't be going down anytime soon.  I may have to raise the dosage.  This was done on 5 pills.  That's it for today.  Probably going to FLA tomorrow.  Need to clear my head.

Distance-1.0

3/28- Unplanned rest day.  Didn't make it to FLA

3/29- Unplanned rest day.

3/30- Insatiable need for Malic Acid has hit far sooner than I expected.

Opened with a 1:33 then slipped to 1:53 just 1 hour later but another trace of it brought me all the way down to 1:15.  It was short-lived.  Just a few hours later, I was barely moving for a half mile cool 

Distance-1.0

-6 miles
