Session Notes:
• Three prior days of no running = very well-stocked glycogen stores. This resulted in very high energy and power output for 1st 55’-65’ of session.
• Hit current “glycogen depletion” zone around 65’into session, then could feel lipid contribution began to increase. Over the final 20’-25’ of work in session coordination significantly declined and brain fog increased as the body became embarrassed/overwhelmed by the SPE stress/stimuli imposed.
• Took 30” - 90” active relief intervals (of walking + deep, slow breathing) as desired throughout session.

Post-Session Notes:
•Immedaite (post-session) fatigue residuals lasted nearly all day.
• An afternoon nap of 75’ did little to alleviate fatigue residuals.
• Big Meals Only Club status: dinner = Bacon, Cheddar, Egg Burger w/ Fries + ice cream protein whole-milk shake for dessert.
• Complete rehydration took several hours, even though liquid consumption was generous directly post-session and throughout day.
