N2O2 log from NTBM/MrSupps

[BLM Shot]

Ok so I was selected to try out and log Oxygen 4 Energy from NTBM and MrSupps.

I haven't received it yet, but I will give a little background.

I will be testing for my running. I will be starting a new training regimen that I have been researching. I will be dropping a lot of miles in favor of tempo and interval training with one long day. I will be using the O2 on the Tempo and Interval days.

The idea behind this training is, basically, quality over quantity. Studies have been directed toward marathons. I will not be running a marathon at the end of training. I just want to see if my running improves. Initial studies were done on those that have never run a marathon and results were good with no injuries.

Follow up studies included seasoned marathoners. In every case, there were less injuries and runners finished with a PR time.

As I stated, I will not be running a marathon. My measured success will be solely on how I feel during my runs. As I have yet to begin this new training, the first couple of weeks will be without the use of O2 so I can get a baseline of how I feel. After that, I will add in O2 to the tempo and interval days.

I will also be training Crossfit/MetCon style so I am sure O2 will help there as well.

I will mix up the usage of Pre, Post as well as Pre and Post.

Are you going to be looking at any changes in time such as minute/mile or something more objective.....

Yeah, sorry. Now that I look at what I wrote, it doesn't sound how I wanted it to.

I will be looking at times, which will be easy to quantify on this type of training. I guess what I meant was if I feel improved times will be due to how I feel from O2 or just the training. As in will I recover quicker, lungs hurt, etc. This is part of the reason I do not want to start off with O2 right out of the gate. I want to feel how the training will be for me.

I have incorporated tempo and interval into my training before so I know how I feel with that. However, I also had a bunch of junk miles. I want to first assess improvement without junk miles then add in O2.

So to make a short answer long.....Yeah, I will track time. However, I will also be assessing how I FEEL with those times with the aid of O2 vs without. So even if I pull times that are the same, I will still asses if I felt I had a little more or not and also the recovery.

Does this make a little more sense?

OK, so I got my O2. I got one bottle. needto told me I would be getting 2. Not a big deal to me and really don't care. However, if you (needto) told the company to send out 2 bottles and they onyl sent out one, then this is good info to have. Like I said, no big deal to me.

Bottle contains "up to 50 inhalations if used properly". Usage is 5-10 inhalations per use. So 5-10 applications.

Alright, so I have been wicked sick for about a week and a half. Like, I had no desire to even get on the computer. My lungs are pretty jacked up right now and I already have asthma so running on the O2 will be delayed.

I will need about 2 weeks to get back to running shape (lung wise) before I use the O2. I finally got back in the gym yesterday and felt like I was going to die from MetCon style training.

Anyway, I just wanted to update a little here even though my usage and feedback will be delayed.

Thanks, needto, for this opportunity to serve the great community here at EF.
