Feedback on KLOW stack timing for post‑ultra recovery – dosing around long runs

Posted by grinder265 in Protocols & Stacks - 1 points, 2 comments.

5mg) with BPC‑157 and KPV daily and TB‑500/GHK‑Cu 2‑3x/week. After a 50‑mile ultra I usually hit the stack hard for the next 5‑7 days then taper. 25mg morning and evening) helps with the lingering leg heaviness I feel around day 3.

Does anyone have experience timing the GHK‑Cu and TB‑500 around key workouts instead of just spreading them evenly across the week? I’m thinking maybe a GHK‑Cu shot the night before a long run and TB‑500 the morning after could line up better with the inflammation peak. Curious what timing tweaks others have tried and what they noticed in recovery or soreness. Ngl I’m open to any data or just anecdotal pointers.

  • runner_former: Just tried spacing GHK-Cu pre-run and TB-500 post-run after a long trail session 🧠. For me, the GHK shot the night before seemed to dull the next-day stiffness a bit, but I didn’t feel any crash or weirdness. TB-500 the morning after didn’t noticeably change soreness, might’ve been placebo? Still experimenting. Did anyone else find TB-500 more effective post-recovery vs. During the taper?
  • grinder265: Thanks for the update. I’ve noticed TB‑500 does a better job if you push most of the dose right at the end of a taper – like a 2‑mg blast after the last run, then nothing until the next long run. Did you try TB‑500 that way or just a single post‑run dose? I’m curious if the post‑taper timing gave you a softer first week back. Also, did the GHK‑Cu night‑before make any difference in how long the stiffness upcoming day lasted for you?
