3/11- Adrenal spike hit hard yesterday afternoon. All I could do was junk intervals. Best showing was 1 lap at Montreat in 3:27 (10:21 pace). Curious finding. I was slightly better on both the NAC and the Moly. Not sure what to do about that going forward. NAC alone won't work. Not sure about Moly alone. Maybe neither. I didn't see a significant improvement until I took mega Thym Adren.
Distance-1.0
3/12-AM. Adrenal spike appears to be over. 1 mile in 11:40 but I was slightly worse after the extra Thym-Adren today. Splits were 5:43-5:57.
PM- 2 miles on Lakeshore in 20:36 (10:18 pace) with splits of 10:22-10:14. It was UGLY but I am encouraged by the improvement over the morning. I doubled the distance and increased the pace by 1:22 per mile while laying off the Thym-Adren. I expect continued improvement tomorrow.
Distance=3.0
3/13- Junk intervals. Insatiable need for Moly has kicked in just as I feared. I improved from 1:46 to 1:10 at Montreat but just a few hours later, I needed more pills. This probably won't last long.
Distance-1.0
3/14- AM. 1 mile at Montreat in 9:42. Nothing special. Slight negative split. Need for Moly appears to be fading already.
PM- 2 miles in 19:08 (9:34 pace). Splits were 9:40-9:28. Improvement over the morning. I'll take it. The need for Moly is fading but it's still there. Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow. I hope to squeeze in a morning session but it may be rained out
Distance-3.0
3/15- Rain did hold off but I didn't press my luck on Lakeshore. Vestavia Mile in 8:12 (4:10-4:02) with a 1:57 last go round. Best time of the year by 14 seconds. Can I fairly compare a track run to the Montreat loop? I think so. I'm nearly certain that Montreat is 20-30 yards short of 1 Mile but that's offset by the hills so I call it even. I'm still 32 seconds short of my reset PR. That's it for today. It will get nasty this afternoon.
Distance-1.0
3/16- COLLAPSE. Hoped to run at least 4 miles but had to settle for 1 in a pitiful 10:40. Felt decent early but it got worse and worse as it progressed. Splits were 4:50-5:50. Culprit was too much CBS/NOS (same effect as moly). Where to go from here? I don't know. I did re-order the Moly but I hope that I can stabilize on just 1 CBS/NOS pill. Either that or I quit the CBS/NOS and just rely on the Moly.
Distance=1.0
3/17- Found out yesterday that Zinc is BAD. I cannot take it with CBS/NOS, probably because of the copper depletion. Today, I started on CBS/NOS and got noticeably better on 1 pill. Opened with a 3:38 lap at Montreat (10:54 pace). Popped another and improved to 3:33 (10:39 pace). At these pace, I don't consider this to be a significant improvement. At least it didn't hurt me. The only thing that helped was extra Thym-Adren. I don't think it's an adrenal spike. It's probably a Zn.Cu imbalance. I felt better because it contains more Cu relative to Zn. Improved to 3:02 (9:06 pace), which is most definitely a significant improvement.
Going forward:
CBS/NOS plus Zinc is a DEFINITE NO. Zinc alone as well as Moly+ Zinc is probably a NO.
It will either be Moly alone, CBS/NOS alone or both. Zinc may be added back at a later date but at a lower dose or on an occasional basis.
Distance=2.0
-12 miles on the week.
