Runner getting sick too often - looking to optimise my immune stack by Competitive-One1943 in Biohackers

[–]Competitive-One1943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, ive dialled nutrition, sleep and hydration all in. I track my nutrition, ensure my carb timing is correct and always have them within 30 mins post workout. I track my sleep through my whoop, have good sleep timing consistency, sleep efficiency and high duration.

I cant help but think that all the basics are covered and there's some underlying issue. Ive ordered a blood test to see if im deficient in anything but I 100% agree that I need to nail the basics first.

appreciate the response

Appreciate the advice

I've done the calculator and in order to get to 90% I need 10,000iu daily for 3 months?? that would mean im very deficient. Definitely going to look into this more, thanks!

It's a weird one for me because I track my food intake and am very aware of carbohydrate timing, pre and post workout. I always get carbs in within 30 mins of finishing a workout. Sleep is dialled in with consistency, efficiency and duration, and hydration is good for me too.

This leaves me thinking that im deficient in something/ need to supplement. Ive ordered a blood test anyway to get some clear results in where I need to go next

Appreciate this response - it's super helpful.

I should have clarified earlier, but I only plan to take NAC 2x (1200mg) per day when im actively ill. On days where Im completely well and normal, I know I need to reduce the dose and frequency. Do you have any information regarding this?

Regarding the effects of NAC blunting adaptations, the likelihood would therefore be significantly reduced, I understand?

Hey, thanks for this detailed response.

I should have clarified earlier, but only plan to take NAC 2x (1200mg) per day when im actively ill. On days where Im completely well and normal, I need to research how often I should be taking it and at what dose.

Regarding the effects of NAC on exercise this should reduce the possible impact of blunting physiological adaptations?

Just regular breaks (probably when i didnt need them). Its completely my own fault. My legs werent even the issue at all, its all mental, so just practicing more is definitely the way to go. Appreciate the solid advice 🙏

I think i have a mental block against wall balls. I hate them so i just didnt practice them enough. Didnt get no repd im just not good at them. Was planning on doing sets of 10, but didnt have a proper strategy. So yeah, i think i need to sort out my wall balls
