KLOW stack timing around a 50k block, daily vs alternating pin schedule

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

Been running a KLOW blend for about 6 weeks now, mostly for some nagging achilles/lower leg stuff that flares every time I ramp mileage. Right now im doing BPC + KPV daily subq near the injury site, then GHK-Cu and TB-500 twice a week on Mon/Thu like the typical schedule.

Question for anyone whos run it through a real training load, not just rest days. On heavy long run days (90min+) i notice the BPC/KPV pin site feels more irritated and my sleep is a bit off that night. Im wondering if alternating daily is actually worse for recovery than front loading everything into post-long-run windows.

Also debating whether TB-500 twice a week is enough or if I should bump it to every 3 days given how much tissue stress im under right now. Bloodwork has been clean so far, no weird lipid or liver flags. Just trying to figure out the cleanest pin schedule that wont fall apart when im doing back to back 20 milers.

How are you all splitting the four components when youre actually under load?

  • noor_zone2: For me the irritation around big mileage days usually meant the subq site was getting too much local inflammation on top of what the tendon already had going on... I backed off to every other day around the worst long run and the redness calmed down within a week. Fwiw i kept GHK-Cu and TB-500 pinned twice weekly and that part never seemed to need more, the bigger lever for me was just not stacking BPC right before a hard effort. On sleep, are you pinning the BPC morning of the long run or righ
  • grinder265: Yeah so the sleep thing is weird because i usually pin BPC/KPV first thing AM on long run days since i figured it'd be circulating by the time i head out. Never thought the timing itself mattered that much. The site irritation tho, every other day around peak volume is an easy enough adjustment, might just front load it post run instead of pre. Did u keep the twice weekly TB-500 even when u backed BPC down or just leave that part static?
