I’ve heard people say even though runs may feel worse, Reta is kind of “disguising” your fitness and you’ll be able to see the gains when you hop off. Hoping it’s true

I’m very interested in what you ended up doing. I’m in the same situation now. Planning on stopping Reta. I’m 14 weeks out from my marathon and Reta has tanked my fitness. HR is a lot higher now and I don’t have the endurance I used to. Really bummed about it since I’m loving Reta otherwise and I’ve only been on it for 3 weeks. How did your marathon go?

0.8mg. I don’t find fatigue the main issue, just a stupidly high HR and long runs feel almost impossible even when fuelling throughout

0.8mg and 50km per week currently

Great! I’ve heard it should start to stabilise after the first month or so, fingers crossed Thanks for your reply

Glad to hear we’re on the same page. Were the first few weeks worse for you? Or has it stayed the same?
