11/3- Interesting episode yesterday. I felt a discernable positive reaction to Vitamin C. I loaded on caffeine to see if it would be tolerated. It wasn't. Also, extra C made things WORSE, not better.
Forced rest day today. Reduced the caffeine and found Vitamin C tolerated again.
11/4- 2 miles on Lakeshore in 18:44 (9:22 pace). Took pills every half mile. Opened with a 5:02 on just ADHS. 2 Probiotics got me down to 4:50. I was expecting a non-factor but this is borderline significant. 1 Vitamin C got me down to 4:37 and a 2nd C yielded a 4:15. Interesting!
Distance-2.0
11/5- Today I couldn't tolerate Vitamin C. What else is new? Yesterday's medicine is today's poison. Even without the autoimmune issues, caffeine is still a factor in Vitamin C metabolism. Attempted a run but died within 2 minutes and slow jogged home
Distance-0.5
11/6- Ugly 1.5 on Lakeshore with no pills. Finished in 16:23 (10:55 pace) with a slight positive split (8:08-8:15) but did have to hold in diarrhea. Trying to gradually reduce the sugar.
Distance-1.5
Done for the week. The intolerance to C is likely related to Iron Overload. I can fix that provided that my autoimmune issues remain in check.
