How much is it popping over compared RPE?

It does make me feel tired a little faster. Before I was ok running 10ks finishing in zone 3 now I can't do 5 before hitting zone 3. Neither of which feels strenuous and I didn't really think about my RPE before so it's hard to really compare. I think realistically my heart rate probably increased and I didn't check thoroughly enough.

Everyone's different. I had to go off reta (2mg) because I could not ingest enough calories to fuel my runs. I noticed even the gels took longer to absorb.

I make my own Gel and it has been easy to get in 150g of carbs in during training. I'm running Boston in 5 weeks. I'm on T and a low dose of RT mud week.

My gel in case you ask lol
200g maltodextrin
100g fructose
.5 tps pectin to make it thick
200g hot water
Whatever flavor you want to make it. It will keep in the fridge for 5 days and i put it in a 250ml soft flask. My last long run I only used 1 of them for 16 miles in stupid elevation no bonk.

Dang dude...thats awesome! Congrats on Boston! I've qualified but never fast enough to actually get in. I have a new plan and 3 races to try this season. I used RT to specifically target the visceral fat. I'll start back when there's time in between races.

I wasn't fast enough either lol they keep moving the goal post. Every year however, there are companies that will gift you a bib. I'm running with the iFit team. Luis Orta is our captain lol. Poland springs yes the water people gives out 10 bibs a year, follow them on IG. I know 5 people that got bibs with them.

I run every morning in order to spite my Dr. I was in really bad shape when I first met her and she said I couldn't reverse my Type 2 on my own, A1C to high.

So that day I started running every day, not very far at first, but longer and longer every morning.

When I started I was close to 300lbs, with diet and exercise I was able to lower my a1c and BP. I was stuck though and I couldn't get my weight down below 265, so I started the trizepatide. It made my recovery easier.

Recently I started on the SS-31, Mots-c, NAD+ protocol, after the 3rd day of Ss-31 I found an extra gear where I was able to go faster than I was before and didn't run out of breath.
.

Update, my VO2 max is up since two weeks after starting the Ss-31 currently 42 from a previous 40

doesn't running mess with y'all's metabolism ? as I've heard it can cause slow progress in losing weight if taken with reta
