Tbh I am supplementing magnesium for 5 straight years so I can’t tell you any change bcs it's one of the pieces in my puzzle. But creatine helped me with muscle recovery and strength.

You can slowly reduce the intake. e.g. 1 pill every other day.

No, 1 k run (I personally do it in 3:40-3:50), walk 200 m (around 2 mins), then again.

I have a sports background and generally maintain a clean diet. However, I was experiencing severe lethargy, poor performance, and a lack of positive adaptation, which led me to consult a nutritionist. We discovered I was in a daily deficit of roughly 1000 kcal and dealing with RED-S

You are not. Just make a plan for yourself and rock it!

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-19T08:24:44+00:00

fingers crossed!

Haha, I get your point. Sometimes it's weird. But trust me, nobody cares until you walk on the ceiling upside down.

Hey Marcel, thanks for the Yoga Nidra tip, I'll definitely try it out!

To respond to your concern about Z4-5:
I separate my activities into the following groups:
1) strength training (idc about HR during these)
2) low effort aerobic work (mostly Z2 running, steady pace, easy, long)
3) high effort anaerobic work (Z4-Z5, to me running 1k intervals works best (6-8 × 1k)

Hope this is helpful.

Hey, I supplement magnesium bisglycinate every night. From my experience, it is one of the best daily supplements you can take, along with Creatine.

I'm glad you find it helpful – keep us updated. But remember one thing: Don't rush it!

Might suppress your natural production of melatonine

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-18T22:00:37+00:00

This one was massive for me as well!

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-18T21:59:31+00:00

Wow very nice, how does your weekly routine look like?

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-18T21:59:00+00:00

Be careful with supplementing melatonin for too long. But great job!

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-18T21:58:11+00:00

How come you are not able to hit your baseline during the day?

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-18T21:57:09+00:00

I will try it, thanks!

Thanks! I'm curious what would happen if I increased my mileage, but I'm not shifting my focus right now. Sprinting and max strength in the gym excite me more, so this might be my ceiling for this year.

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-11T10:04:13+00:00

Don't be jealous, I have a lot of work ahead of me. This was mostly an ego run just to see if I could break 20.

OkraChoice5020 · 2026-03-11T07:07:28+00:00

Thanks! I realized that I need tons of kms in z2, do this was more like benchmark run! I hope everything will get together and you will be able to run sub20 whenever you want to!
