    Cholesterol win!

    Hi team!! I’m super excited that through this page and r/vegan I made the switch to vegan in May after some scary blood test results. I’m hitting 3-6 workouts a week (always over 200 intensity minutes a week on my Garmin, but aiming closer to 300-400). I’ve had my bloods retested this week and...

    Has anyone ever had chronic ankle pain due to ankle sprain?

    Hello everyone. I sprained my ankle 9 months ago, while coming down some steps. Sprain wasn’t bad as I was immediately able to walk on it and put weight. Did limp for first few days. Till 2 months after the injury, I didn’t see a doctor and continued doing some strengthening work at home. But...

    Do you supplement L-Leucine?

    Hey there, with L-Leucine being one of the most important amino acids I wondered if some of you may supplement it? I gave a new protein powder a try and it had 10.3g of Leucine per 100g of product. As far as I'm aware that's the sweet spot and makes the powder higher in quality all around...

It's to the point where I'll wake up and some random tiny muscle in my hand or back is messed up, even...

    Sickness keeps hampering progress

    Hi team! Looking for sympathy/advice/encouragement/anything… It seems that every time I’m getting into a good rhythm with my training, I come down with a cold. I’m not overtraining - I aim for two runs and two weight sessions a week and I throw in a yoga, Pilates, spin bike session or a swim...

    Improving the regularity of my bowels?

    Hello, I work out a lot and, to compensate, I also eat a lot - given the plant-based diet, this means that I have a huge volume of food going in to meet my calorie needs and, consequently, a huge volume coming out the other end. Unfortunately it seems to always fall into an irregular pattern...
