@LinusCaldwell5 Nice - very happy for you! Definitely best to take it easy and base build for awhile considering the time off.
Iβm looking at some URMB events in the states for next year - will share details once I get them locked in.
@LinusCaldwell5 Varied with training load, didnβt really see it as a factor and tested each supplement in isolation too. Would deffo take creatine again but not long term. Probably next spring ahead of races.
Are you training for something? Bad sleep is a killer, really sucks.
@LinusCaldwell5 Hated ashwa, RHR was up and felt sluggish during high intensity sessions. Creatine was good after the loading phase, 2kg heavier but had more power. Found myself getting dehydrated more and both the loading and reloading phases were very uncomfortable/ caused sleep problems.
@LinusCaldwell5 Ditched the creatine, ashwa, and mushrooms. Massively helped with training recovery and performance over short to long distances races. 5km down to 18mins and several skyraces done this year.
@LinusCaldwell5 Melatonin and some other bits
Tried mostly everything listed above and whittled it down to:
- tart cherry before bed, after long sessions on the trails or bike and after races.
- magnesium, tumeric before bed.
- plasmaide
- collagen
