4/12- Interesting observation. I was MUCH WORSE after drinking a juice based caffeinated beverage. The same stuff actually HELPED me when I was coming off Thym-Adren. It only has 4g of added sugar. This time, the required pills did not help though extra after the workout made me feel a little better. Never had a good pace and it got much worse with every step. Totaled 1 mile in 11:04. Day 1 on water only tomorrow. PERHAPS I won't be as dependent on the Lactoferrin and Probiotics now.
Distance=1.0
4/13- As expected, no sudden miracle but I was considerably better. No major withdrawal symptoms, which is good. That may hit tomorrow. Did 2 miles at Veteran's Park in 19:36 (9:48 pace) with a slight negative split. I'll try for 3 tomorrow before it rains. Time is running out to get in shape for Minnesota.
Distance=2.0
4/14- Mild withdrawal this morning but it really wasn't THAT bad. I won't list the AM workout but came back in the evening and repeated the 2 mile distance. Time was down to 18:30 (9:15 pace) with splits of 9:20-9:10. Again, can I avoid a relapse? The only type that I am willing to accept at this point is a need for methylation.
Distance=4.0
4/15- Unplanned rest day. Adrenals have spiked again. Not a huge surprise. This spike won't last as long. Back on Thym-Adren but only for 1 day. The last time I tried to go sugar free, I became intolerant to Probiotics then could not tolerate any sugars at all after that. That's not acceptable. An occasional juice drink should not trigger a relapse. This was before the Lactoferrin so it may not happen again. If it does, it's all over. As I said before, the resolution is coming ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
4/16- Good news all around. Not a significant difference (15 per mile) after taking Lactoferrin and Probiotics this morning. I was noticeably better by the evening. Repeated the 2 miler at Veteran's Park and my time is down to 16:56 (8:28 pace). Not much of a kick at the end but maintained a very even pace.
Distance=3.0
4/17- Quarter marathon in 61:02 (9:19 pace). I'll take it. This is about what I expected today. In my last 3 races, I was on pace through 8 miles then collapsed. I bet the same thing would have happened today and I finish around 2:10 for a half. Found a decent rhythm in the midsection after a slow start but faded in Mile 6 (9:40) before a rebound at the finish. Added a cool. I didn't think I was ready for double digits and I was probably right. Next week, I will try for 10.
Distance=7.0
4/18- Woke up in the morning and it was immediately apparent that a key pill was missing. Turns out that it was Methyl Folate plus TMG. 1 mile worth of intervals, which warrants a separate post.
After I straightened that out, I went to Veteran's Park for an easy 2 miler just to hit the weekly minimum quota. Finished in 17:18 (8:39 pace) going the opposite direction, which made little difference overall. Slightly slower than Friday but the effort was dialed back and I was coming off a 7 miler so that's okay.
Distance=3.0
-20 miles on the week. I've managed to hit that total with a fair amount of regularity.
