So I recently decided to run the Baltimore Half-Marathon on Oct. 18th, despite my usual run being a two-mile trail up in the mountains, in addition to weight lifting and HIIT. Basically I gave myself a month to be able to run 13.1 miles. Why? Because it is a challenge and something to accomplish, simple enough. I'm 25 y.o. male and in very good health, and will be focusing on pushing myself and "recovering hard".
I'm here mainly for any ideas in terms of supplements and for a stack critique.
Heres what I'm thinking :
Adaptogens - Mainly Cordyceps, Rhodiola and Eleuthero prior to running. Various others throughout the day, including Reishi, Ginseng, Astragalus and Gynostemma. While not an adaptogen to my knowledge, I've found Coca powder (not Cacao) to enhance endurance and oxygen utilization.
Mitochondrial Enhancers - Pqq (20 mg now, considering 40 mg closer to race day, thoughts?), CoQ10 (50 mg now, 100 mg closer to race day), ALCAR 500-1000 mg, and C-60oo once it arrives, thinking a dropper squeeze a day, too much? Every other day?
Joint / Inflammation Support - Daily homemade bone broth, MSM, epsom salt baths, ice baths, fish oil/cod liver oil, SAMe 400 mg, Meriva Curcumin, 500 - 1000 mg, Tart Cherry Juice, Dark Chocolate/Cacao, and occasionally some colostrum a few times a week.
On top of this, plenty of greens, pastured eggs, grass-fed meat and dairy, yada yada. A greens powder, Green Vibrance at home and Vitamineral Green at work. B-Vitamins, vitamin d/k2 complex. Also sauna and cold showers, yoga once or twice a week and daily meditation.
Interested to hear everyone's thoughts.
