10/6- Vestavia Mile in 7:41. I believe it's my best time of the year. 23 seconds faster than last time but still 11 away from the PR. Pretty well paced with splits of 1:53-1:57-2:00-1:51. No pills. Pleased overall. Added a warm and cool.
Just a little sluggish after taking the ADHS and Vitamin C when I got home. I feel safer on at least some adrenal support but I may be better off without it.
Can I cut off 42 more seconds? If I am healthy enough to train at 30 MPW consistently, I think I have a realistic chance.
Distance-1.5
10/7- AM. 1.5 miles in 16:15 (10:50 pace). FAIL! Culprit is most probably ADHS. That makes me feel really uneasy because it's a modulator.
PM- MUCH BETTER. 2 miles in 18:56 (9:28 pace). Perfect splits. Vitamin C was the answer. More to come in a separate post
Distance-3.5
10/8- Repeated the 2 mile distance with a similar result. Finished in 18:52 (9:26 pace) with a strong finish (9:37-9:15). Malic Acid last night didn't hurt me but I am still significantly slower than last week probably due to the low Vitamin C.
PM- 1 Mile at Montreat in 9:38. Looks ho hum but there is some interesting data under the surface. I drank a Kickstart after I got home from the morning session and though I didn't collapse, I did feel a bit more sluggish. Workout confirmed it
Passed 2 laps in 6:37 (9:55 pace) at the same effort as this morning. Figure that a 2 mile would be approaching 20 minutes instead of 19. Popped a Vitamin C and definitely felt a boost. Did the 3rd lap in 3:01 (9:03 pace). Almost as good as last week. Most of the questions have been answered.
Distance-3.0
10/9- AM. 2 Vitamin C alone was a DISASTER! Quit after just half mile with a pace approaching 12. Took an ADHS when I got home and it seemed to reverse itself. Took 3 more C at work and it was obviously too much. 5 C to 1 ADHS is obviously too much C. 2-4 might work.
PM- More tests. No discernable reaction to Zinc or Liver. Thym Adren may have helped a little. Did a half lap in 1:49 (10:54 pace). Popped an ADHS and improved all the way to 1:20 (8:00 pace). I'm at a loss for words over this but it's increasingly likely that ADHS won't work for me. Why? I have no idea. If I am to take any adrenal support, it must be Thym Adren. Need for Vitamin C? I don't know. Perhaps, I will do best on nothing but I don't feel safe with that plan. I won't try ADHS again until I am caffeine free
Distance-1.0
10/10- No pills. 1 Mile at Heardmont in 9:41. Splits were 5:01-4:40 and I did NOT take anything at the halfway point. Meh. I should do better tomorrow.
Distance-1.0
10/11- Hoped to run 3 but had to settle for 1. Horrible without the C but much better with
Distance-1.0
10/12- Planned rest day. It's confirmed now. Vitamin C need and tolerance is affected by caffeine consumption.
10 miles
