Any Runners Here?

Starting my first ever marathon training block this week and am a bit nervous. I’ve done a few half marathons, improving each time, but have not gone further than 13 in training and haven’t done much running (just a 10 miler) since starting Tirz. The Tirz has allowed me to lose 30 lbs I needed gone. As I head into this training block I’m wondering if there anything I could add to help with the bit of fatigue from Tirz or the recovery from running. Any advice or thoughts?

Runner here 🙋🏻‍♀️, I usually do a 6-7km run 4 days a week. I've found a week after being on Reta (2mg) my energy levels improved immensely, I did 5 consecutive daily runs, no walking breaks and no muscle soreness! Not sure if this will be an ongoing blessing or if it's a temp effect, hoping for the former!

I’ve been thinking about switching to Reta from Tirz, especially since I’ve hit maintenance but have read that Tirz is better for inflammation and that is pretty much the whole reason I want to stay on a maintenance dose. Glad you are having a good time with it!

I’m a long distance runner (1/2 and full marathons). Tirz helped me SO MUCH! But I did have some trouble keeping my energy up while running.
My solution is to carry squeezable containers of 100% fruit (basically, it’s baby food). They fit great into the side pockets of my running shorts and don’t leak because of the twist off cap.
If I predict I might need more calories than what’s in the pouch, before I head out I squeeze out a little of the product and replace it with jam, honey, or a little peanut butter.
It’s not a pretty process to prepare the pouches but this really gives me the giddy up I need.
Happy running! 🏃 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️
