      My nutrition strategy:

      1. Eat food

      2. Repeat

       

      I don't think I've ever taken a vitamin or supplement in my life. Update: still alive.

       

      Me, too.

        Glutamine is the bomb.  Though the chart disagrees with me, I think lol

         

        I saw glucosamine but did not see glutamine.

          I took Glucosamine and Chondroitin until I read the studies about it's lack of effectiveness and I decided I'd be better off training smarter and spending my money on beer.

          Short term goal: 17:59 5K

          Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

          Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

            What I think I'm seeing on both charts is that I am clearly not eating enough chocolate.

                  faster than a glacier

                    I take a vitamin D, a multi-vitamin and 2 glucosamine capsules a day and all it probably does is make a fool out of me and empty my wallet.

                     

                    It does much more than that! It creates very expensive urine

                      I should bottle it and sell it with the label "tonic for marathon runners" on it.

                        Vitamin D will be metabolized, for example, and so what comes out isn't Vitamin D but a chemically-modified-for-excretion metabolite and that isn't really worth much to anyone (I hope lol).    And I doubt glucosmine makes it through fully intact, too.

                         

                        In addition, most people in northern climates could benefit from vit D supplementation.

                          That is what my doc told me. And since I don't run outside, I figured a supplement of vitamin D would not hurt me.
