Scott,
Your advice definitely rings true, and helps to hear from your perspective. I’ll see if I can get my doctor to run with the ferritin check and see if that gives any more indicators off of which to work. Whenever I do climb out of this rut, I am beginning to believe a long aerobic base cycle will be the right route to take. For the sake of planning and self-education, do you have any recommendation for a training plan that would build aerobic endurance over the long haul?
