7/14-AM- Opener in 1:41 (10:06 pace). A little slower than expected but no panic. On the full dose, I felt somewhat better and knew it was under 90 but I was surprised to see a 78 (7:48 pace) at the finish. That's a 2:18 gap, which is much too big.
PM- Unsure of myself after caffeine withdrawal, which wasn't bad because I weaned off. Intended for it to be an easy day but did a little better than expected. 1.5 miles in 14:24 (9:36 pace) with even splits (7:10-7:14) despite backing off a tad on the back half. Also, the Liver appears to be tolerated but I am not messing with it unless it's needed. Last week's culprit was Malic Acid. I can only hope that the autoimmune reactions are gone forever.
Distance-2.0
7/15- 3 miles on Lakeshore plus extension in 28-flat (9:20 pace). I'll take it. Only downer was that I struggled on the back half. Then again, it was more humid than usual this morning. Splits were 13:52-14:08. Legs had decent pop all the way but I still feel quite overstimulated.
Distance-3.0
Shipment of ADHS is delayed so I will have to use Thym Adren for the next 3 days. Which will be more effective? Probably Thym Adren. I'll have to keep the dose low to prevent a flip flop.
7/16-AM. Switched from 6 ADHS to just 3 Thym Adren. Collapsed but that probably wasn't the reason. I passed the 1/4 mile in a time over 3 minutes so I just walked back. Most likely, it's an adrenal spike, which can happen 3-4 days after quitting caffeine. It should pass quickly.
PM- Much better. Did 3/4 mile at Montreat in 7:14 (9:39 pace). Should be ready to train again tomorrow. That's right at 30 pace for 5K.
Distance-1.0
7/17- Good news and bad. The good news is that my opener was down to 85, which was much better. Bad news is that the Thym Adren wasn't very effective. I did improve to 75 on the closer but had NOTHING in the real workout. Perhaps, the negative didn't kick in right away. At any rate, I passed half mile in 5:30 then walk jogged back. Extra pills made it worse.
Distance-1.5
Good news is that the ADHS arrived and that's what I'll be taking going forward. At least that question was answered.
7/18- Labored through 1.5 miles in 16:27 (10:58 pace) with even splits. Marginally better than yesterday. Back to feeling overstimulated and back on ADHS. I suspect that Magnesium is also a necessity and will test that out when I get home.
PM- Magnesium is indeed a necessity. Less than a month ago, I could not tolerate it. Now, I can't get along without it. What else is new? Opened with a 90. Popped just ONE Mag pill and slow jogged another half lap. My closer was down to 80. MINUS 60 per mile. Significant gain. The full dose would have been a game changer.

Magnesium plus ADHS with methylation support? That's a cocktail that is manageable. The latter is not required every day. I am HOPING that the same will be true eventually with the first 2. As it is, this is extreme dependence and my energy is still inadequate. I fail 2 out of the 3 demands.
