12/1- 1 Mile on Lakeshore in 11:43 (5:41-6:02). Worse than expected. It seems like I get quick gains from Zinc but it fades fast and I need more and more to get through the day.
Distance-1.0
12/2- Repeated the 1 Mile distance this time at Montreat. Improved to 10:24. No cause for celebration but pleased with this improvement. Splits were 3:33-3:25-3:26.
Distance-1.0
12/3- 1.5 miles on Lakeshore in 14:30 (9:40 pace). Continued steady progress. I'll take it. Splits were 7:17-7:13. Still loading on Zinc but the positive effects last longer.
PM- 3 half lappers in the dark at Montreat. Opened with a 1:43 (10;18 pace). Improved to 1:22 on Zinc (8:12 pace). MINUS 2:06! Followed it with a 1:23 on Vitamin C. Only fractionally slower so that's a non-factor. I did NOT expect such a big gap and don't know what to make of it. I'll know more tomorrow
Distance-2.0
12/4- Earliest sunset of the year. Workout was in the AM. Half lap in 1:48 (10:48 pace) and marginally slower on Probiotics. I'll skip both that and Vitamin C. This was without Zinc. Not pleased that I fell this far after just 12 hours
Real workout was a repeat of yesterday. Improved to 14:04 (9:23 pace) with a slight fade at the end (6:58-7:06). A gain is a gain but I was hoping for better. I may need another small tweak.
Distance-2.0
12/5- Planned rest day. Not feeling well at all.
12/6- AM- 1 Mile on Lakeshore in 11:21. Passed halfway in 5:55 then popped a Zinc and improved only to a 5:26. Significant but not a game changer. Learned that caffeine interferes with Zinc absorption. That explains it.
PM- 2 sprints. 64 without Zinc and 54 with it. Greater effect after just a few hours off caffeine. Perhaps I won't need it as much going forward.
Distance-1.5
12/7- 2.5 miles in 28:30 (11:24 pace). OUCH! At least I finished it
Distance-2.5
-10 miles
