HGH and Endurance

My personal experience

For quite some time, I have had a great deal of curiosity about HGH (human growth hormone) products, wondering if, in fact, they worked the way many sites claim. I was skeptical about using an HGH product, especially considering all the negative publicity with its use in professional sports.

I am an ingredient reader and believe in using products only if I feel convinced that they are safe. As you may have guessed, I don't use drugs of any type (prescription or over the counter) as I feel they are very dangerous when used on a regular basis.

So I began my investigation and was intrigued with a few of the products I studied. I was looking for a product that was homeopathic and safe, not the kind used by professional athletes. The first one I tried showed no noticeable difference. However, my latest experiment proved very successful. I am happy to share my experience with you.

Even as early as day 3, I went for a run on the Grouse Grind in North Vancouver, British Columbia. It was my first time doing "The Grind" this year (2009). I started keeping track of my times in 2002. Since then, I have run the Grind 22 times. I only ran it once last year (in 49:30). For those of you unfamiliar with the Grind, it is a straight ascent with no breaks 853 meters up Grouse Mountain. The distance of 2.8 kilometers is deceptive as it is a straight vertical climb to the top. It is a fabulous cardio workout which is similar to being on a stair climber at a very difficult setting, only you're in the fresh air and the scenery from the top, looking down upon Vancouver, BC, is beautiful.

At the time, I could not remember my previous times, but I finished it on this day in 43:30. The interesting part was that it felt relatively easy. When I got to the top, I didn't feel tired. Sure enough, when I returned home and input the times in my computer, I discovered that this was the third fastest time I've had since 2002. But it doesn't end there. When my 3 buddies and I got to the summit, we ran down the backside on the old Grouse Mountain Highway Road and I just couldn't stop running. I was in a zone and it felt like I could run forever. I haven't felt like this in a very long time. In the end, the total run took me 1:45:00 and I still felt refreshed afterwards. I figure that was pretty good for a 56 year old.

I can only attribute this to the HGH product which I had started using 3 days prior, since it was the only thing I had changed in my routine. I hope my experience continues to be this positive and that it helps you in your quest for health and fitness.

By the way, the product I use is Sytropin.
