Corticosteroids before competition

[fiets]

Prednisolone should be used with care, but my experiences are, that you can use it safely, if you are not taking it more than 5-10 times a year.

Yes. First time yesterday in a cycling team time trial.
2mg of dexamethasone and actually felt really good. Not jittery like ephedrine but amped up and ready to go. I also noticed my HR actually was down on what it usually did. Woke up this morning after a smash fest tt yesterday, fresh as a daisy and ready to race a crit today. Rode heard out the front all day and only when I stopped did I notice the severe pain from the area where my ham strings join my backside.

Nikko, trying to pm you, but your box is full
