Pause Reta for half marathon training

[Sidney]

I started taking Reta at 0.5mg/week three weeks ago. I have been training for a half marathon and increasing my long runs. Last week I ran 15k and bonked with no energy around last mile or two. I had trained for and ran a half marathon in March with no such issues. I have been bring hydration vest, drinking electrolytes before I run, eat a pbj and banana sandwich an hour or two before the run, and bring gu on my run to no avail. I am wondering if I do not have enough glucagon levels to power my long distance 1-2 hour runs and considering pausing Reta until after my race in mid-November. Thoughts?

That’s seems like a good call to pause it. It won’t take very long to get that low of a dose out of your system to see if it was the cause.

Worth a try to see in my feeble opinion.
