Post Berlin Bloods

After Berlin I felt I recovered quite quickly. Two weeks afterwards I was back running the county senior cross country feeling fine.

I haven’t really changed anything with my diet over the year. I am pretty much vegetarian 99% of the time, bordering on vegan. I think that I function best on a high carbohydrate diet, I had this all figured out about 10 years ago but I seemed to forget it when I got injured went cycling and started listening to strength and conditioning gurus.

A typical Monday to Friday at work looks something like this.

1330: Beetroot and Brie Sandwich with Carrot Salad

Supplements and Drugs

I take 150mcg of Throxine in the morning with a yakult and two probiotics

In the evening I take a Galfer and an Active Iron Tablet

My blood test results seem to be fairly stable. The only real significant change is my Vitamin B12 which has dropped since stopping Berocca, I have a theory that too much B12 is bad.

I won’t change anything as I think it’s working whatever it is.
