Thank you for your song suggestions.
For today’s tempo run, I decided to try beta alanine. I have taken it once before, a week or two again and could not get over the tingling! It was crazy. I talked to my dad, who takes it for weight lifting and Janae, who takes it before long runs and decided to try it again. This time, the tingling was not as intense, but I’m not sure I noticed a difference in my run.
Regardless, I had a good run.

*Do you take any special supplements to enhance your workouts?
I also take magnesium w/ calcium (for absorption) to speed recovery.
