Back in the gym this morning for a leg session, which was a really good one, then back home to spend some time with my husband before he’s away again next week for work. We have a house viewing later on, and will likely get out for a nice walk at some point too.

I’d aim for around 1g of pink Himalayan or sea salt per meal (assuming 5-6 meals a day). If you sweat a lot or live in a hot climate, add another gram or some electrolytes during training too.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and listen to your body. If you’re constantly thirsty, you need more water/less salt. If you’re peeing a lot then increase salt intake/reduce water. Monitor your training performance and pumps too.

Nice work! It sounds like you’re in a great spot to start increasing your calories. I would agree in adding 200 carbs TD and 150 carbs NTD initially, and then increasing more around the workout window at your next jump.

I had a busy morning getting a few jobs done, and then got out for a lovely long (ish) run in the sunshine after my first meal. It makes such a difference to wellbeing, getting some sunlight in the eyes and on the skin. My husband and I have been discussing the possibility of packing up and moving to another country, and/or down sizing our current house and travelling more once he hits full term in his military job. It all depends on our daughter’s plans for the future, as we will always want a bolt hole in the UK for them, but we definitely want to explore more, enjoy different cultures and get more sun!

Intravenous will always be much more reliable in terms of accuracy, so I would never fully trust a finger print test for a complete comprehensive panel.

They won’t be as bioavailable, so I would just increase the dosage as Hilly has suggested.

Do you use 600 mcg daily clare?[/quote]

I would do 2 x 300mcg capsules, daily, pre exercise on training days or first thing on an empty stomach on rest days. Cycle 6-8 weeks on and 4 weeks off.

I went for a short run first thing, and then we did a full on core session in my Pilates session later this morning, which was surprisingly tough, but really good. Back home now to get on with some work and admin bits. I had a lovely Thai meal with my husband last night, which gave me a nice little energy boost this morning, but back to my base diet again today.

I would run an elimination diet to identify triggers.

Firstly strip back your diet to basic whole foods for 2-4 weeks. This means eating things that rarely trigger symptoms, such as non nightshade veg, most fruits, rice or quinoa and simple proteins like fish or turkey. At the same time cut out the foods most likely to cause issues, such as gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, nuts, nightshades, citrus fruits, caffeine, alcohol and ultra processed foods.

Then wait for symptoms to settle. This gives you a clean baseline. If symptoms don’t improve at all, the issue may not be food related, so worth looking at lifestyle, stress.. etc.

Next, reintroduce foods one at a time. Every 3-5 days, add back a single food (like dairy or eggs) and watch for changes in digestion, skin, energy, performance, mood, sleep.

Keep a simple diary, noting what you ate and how you felt. This will make patterns much easier to identify.

You can then slowly build your diet back up.

No gym for me today. I did a 7km run this morning, and then have just been getting on with some work and general jobs, so nothing really exciting to report! I’m going to have an off plan meal with my husband later as I feel I need some extra food today.

Ive got Reta , mots-c , slu , sss31 and itpp.

Cant wait to try 🙂 .

Have you heard much about ITPP a lot of good reviews for endurance things.

I’m not familiar with using it personally, but would be interested to hear more anecdotal reviews.

Sweet!

I’m very intrigued to how much these peptides can have on athletic performance, when every other aspect is dialled in , training , performance , rest etc.

keep up the good work!

Thankyou. Keep me posted if you do try any.

Hi Clare. How serious are you about running?

What’s you all time PBS 🙂

What peptides have you found most beneficial?

I used to run track sprints for time when I was younger, and then I managed to fit in short distances (5-10km) around my bodybuilding, netball and other challenges, up until agreeing to run a couple of marathons for charity in 2011 and 2012. I then made the decision to take bodybuilding more seriously and dropped the running to focus on that competitively. After 9 years of completive bodybuilding, and winning my Pro card in 2022, I decided it was time to give that up and focus back on my health and well being. So now, although I still like to challenge myself and set goals, my mindset has completely shifted towards being the fittest and healthiest I can possibly be, both mentally and physically as I get older. I have started running short distances again, and fit that around some weight training, yoga, Pilates and long walks/hikes and occasional cycling. I have a base plan, but am flexible to what I feel my body needs or can do on the day.

What I eat, supplement, and how I train is very instinctive and reactive to how I feel. I read and research a lot, and in terms of peptides, I am more interested in those that contribute to longevity, cell renewal and tissue repair. I currently use GHK-cu and BPC-157 and have stacked TB500 and KPV with those before. Mots c interests me to.

If you want to consider peptides for running performance, I would consider Mots c, SS-31 and possibly BPC-157 and TB 500 for tissue regeneration, inflammation control and repair.

I decided to do a long run today and then go to a Yoga session later on in the morning. I was due to train legs, but wasn’t feeling it, so listened to my body. My bodybuilding mindset was completely different to the mindset I have right now, since I stopped competing. I’m still focussed, disciplined and committed in what I do, but I prioritise my health and wellbeing now, ahead of simply pushing through regardless of how I feel. It served a purpose in the past, but not at this time in my life.

I feel really good right now and the sun is shining at last, so I’ll be getting out for a walk later after I’ve got some work done.
