3/31- Unplanned rest day.
4/1- Very bad day. Had to leave work early. Couple of key discoveries. I still need extra Thym Adren. Malic Acid may have actually increased the need for it. Second, there is no insatiable need. I must be judicious with the Malic Acid. Too much will definitely cause problems. No more than 2 scoops per day in divided doses. I may cut it down to 1. If I take too much, I always feel better after a trip to the toilet. Definitely detox. Did do 1 Mile worth of intervals, which confirmed the findings.
Distance- 1.0
4/2- Dosage must be cut to 1 scoop, which will be taken at night with Vitamin C. Made it through the day at work but had to nap afterwards. Only did a half mile at Montreat in 5:45 (11:30 pace). I did show some life with a 1:45 last half lap.
Distance-0.5
4/3 AM- Began feeling noticeably better later in the evening but went backwards immediately after the scoop before bed. Nevertheless, after a night of clearing, it was an improvement over yesterday. Repeated the half mile and my time is down to 5:10 (10:20 pace). MINUS 70 per mile and I expect to be better this evening. The dosage will remain 1 scoop per day until further notice.
PM- Attempted a full Mile but had to settle for half. Time improved to 4:58 but I am clearly NOT on the right track. Splits were 1:30-1:39-1:49. Do I need more Malic Acid?
Significantly worse after chugging a Red Bull. Perhaps caffeine affects the detox process. Took Malic Acid before bed and I was better.
Distance- 1.0
4/4- Unplanned rest day. Discovered that I only have an insatiable need for Malic Acid if I consume excess caffeine. If I limit my intake, it should be a manageable 1 scoop per night until further notice.
4/5- AM- 3x half lap intervals. (2:21-2:07-1:37)
PM- Full mile in 10:45, which is about what I expected. I may go backwards again after the scoop but tomorrow should be better overall.
Distance- 1.5
