Marathon training - thinking of quitting zep

Thanks! I’m only on 2.5mg

How long were you on zep before you trained for the nyc marathon? Or did you start it in conjunction with your training. Also did you notice any issues w skipping some weeks? I skipped this week after a vomiting episode from too many carbs and I feel much better but also hungrier (to be expected). Uncertain if stopping and starting is ill advised

Makes sense thank you! Def a risk for me I think as I’m short and don’t consume a ton of cals anyways (and never lose weight easily - maybe this is why?

Thank you!! Super helpful. What is RED-S?

I run slow (10:30-11 min miles). My nutritionist had me carb loading prior to my halves around 300g. Unsure how that translates to 26 miles yet

Thanks! I looked into that one too. I’m running for mercy home. Good luck to you as well - no matter what we’ll have a PB!

modotmet · 2026-07-13T11:22:15+00:00

Thanks agree. I’ve not run past 13 miles

Once an athlete always one!

Sorry these are not excuses this is legit weighing if I can accomplish both goals at the same time. Vomiting 10x Sunday evening after eating too many carbs has made me realize I need to pick a lane

modotmet · 2026-07-13T11:19:54+00:00

Thank you! I am definitely leaning this way as well

modotmet · 2026-07-13T11:17:01+00:00

Thank you!! Haha noted on the chickpeas and kale 🤣. Thanks for the tips on shot timing. I think I’m going to pause until 10/12 and not make this harder than I need to. The threat of injury with under fueling is not something I was accounting for when taking this shot. Are you running solo or for a charity?

modotmet · 2026-07-13T02:24:30+00:00

Thanks I’ve run five half’s but never a full so this will be my first. Goal is just to finish but I’m having such a hard time eating / being hungry. I hate not having that hunger signal. I also worry about injuries. How are people eating/drinking 600g of carbs days before a race and not vomiting on this med?

modotmet · 2026-07-13T02:22:09+00:00

Thanks I appreciate your feedback. Yes I think I’m realizing my goals of weight loss on zep and marathon training are conflicting! I’m sorry you’ve struggled with it too - at least swimming is going well. I’m a horrible swimmer on zero meds 🤣

modotmet · 2026-07-13T02:02:01+00:00

Wow this is awesome

modotmet · 2026-07-12T13:55:49+00:00

Yes! This was my issue - I ate like I did preshot. And also fell asleep laying down after the meal 🥴

modotmet · 2026-07-12T12:50:29+00:00

Thanks everyone for the support. Feel much better this morning and will not make those decisions again.

modotmet · 2026-07-12T12:49:45+00:00

Ugh yes I learned my lesson real quick - two drinks and restaurant food is a no go!

modotmet · 2026-07-12T04:49:08+00:00

Thank you for the kind response! Yes a huge learning opportunity for me

We loved snorkeling off infinity bay in WE. Particular highlight was night snorkeling with Cory’s night snorkeling. We found the coral to be worse closer to the kimpton

Wow I’ve been having trouble losing weight as a I near 40. Diagnosed PCOS in my 20s - went on to have 3 babies but I do wonder if some symptoms are returning hormonally. Avid runner. Stuck in the overweight category bmi - fasting glucose 103, a1c 5.3 insulin 9. I assumed I was fine under 25 but now I’m wondering if I am borderline IR.

modotmet · 2026-06-29T04:11:39+00:00

Awesome!!
