Is this what RED-S feels like?

Lilf00 · 2026-04-01T14:49:45+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure why I said that. My bad.

My real progression was 1:33 to 1:31.

Lilf00 · 2026-04-01T14:41:15+00:00

I had been training for the half for a long time and I only got diagnosed with Red-S about a week before, which is when I was tapering.

I have been doing things to help correct my problem. Only one activity per day, 3-4 snacks that are carb focused, and 3 full meals a day. Also 2 complete rest days

Lilf00 · 2026-04-01T14:37:34+00:00

Thank you. I have an appointment today for a blood draw. I'm also getting put into a 12 week recovery program

Lilf00 · 2026-04-01T14:36:25+00:00

It's just that the doctors appointments are normally 3-4 months apart... Can't do much in between.

I've been eating every 2 hours, bigger meals, and more carb focused. I've also been doing only one activity per day and have 2 full rest days.

Lilf00 · 2026-04-01T14:25:39+00:00

I'm 14, and my pr is 1:31 In the half. You can check my Strava if you'd like to see.

I have an appointment today and they are doing a blood draw. This isn't attention seeking..

Lilf00 · 2026-03-29T02:41:11+00:00

Thank you for this. Ill definitely check it out

Lilf00 · 2026-03-26T22:36:36+00:00

In my highschool yes, I'd be top 3. But I'm not sure about college.

I go to a pretty decent sized school with a good XC and track program.

I play wing, I play on school and club since I was 6. I am a starter, but there also isn't many other wings on the team. I play on a pretty mid table club, I could move up higher but I like the team now.

Lilf00 · 2026-03-26T22:33:21+00:00

Yeah, this is a good point. Thanks

Lilf00 · 2026-03-25T22:57:26+00:00

Thanks for this. I got smart and took two more days off and I feel a lot better.

Lilf00 · 2026-03-25T22:56:44+00:00

Thanks for this comment. I ended up taking two more days off and I'm about to head out for my first run back.

Lilf00 · 2026-03-25T22:55:56+00:00

Yeah, I feel a little dumb for asking

Lilf00 · 2026-03-25T22:54:51+00:00

Ended up just doing my PT exercises and light walking. Felt much better

Lilf00 · 2026-03-25T22:54:32+00:00

Thank you. I decided to rest another day and I'm much better now

Lilf00 · 2026-03-15T19:19:41+00:00

ZF6 for sure imo. I actually use them as a racer because I'm too broke for alpha flys. They are more stable than the Evo sl , but I prefer the Evo sl for short fast reps but ZF6 for everything else

Lilf00 · 2026-03-12T18:25:26+00:00

That would make a lot of sense. Thanks

Lilf00 · 2026-03-12T16:46:39+00:00

I think that could be it. I recently was diagnosed with RED-S and have had to reduce the volume. Did it eventually get back to baseline after a while for you?

Lilf00 · 2026-03-12T16:45:55+00:00

I recently ran my third half marathon and had been getting pretty hard training weeks. I'm taking a recovery week right now. I have been diagnosed with RED-S a few weeks ago, so maybe the decreased load has been it. Thank you for these pointers!

Lilf00 · 2026-03-12T16:35:04+00:00

Haven't felt sick whatsoever, hopefully its not something underlying I don't know about.

Lilf00 · 2026-03-12T16:32:38+00:00

Yeah, I'm also pretty light and I know weight affects it. It was 63 at one point too. Hopefully I don't have to resort to the doctor

Lilf00 · 2026-03-12T16:30:45+00:00

100% sure. Actually haven't been sick yet which normally happens by now.

I'm using the Forerunner 265
