@brianjarvis Hey Brian! Thanks for the response. I wish I'd been told that! haha It was recommended that I do core work. Nothing about cardio. About 3 months in on my first shot, I went to the track to run. Now, mind you before all this started I loved to jog. I got a 1/2 mile in and it felt like I ran a 10k. Is there some in Eligard that just kills the ability to run?

Glad to hear about your story. That's awesome!!

Doug

@dpayton Yes, the lack of energy will show up in basic home activities like running - even simple activities like yard work and gardening.
Remember that the hormone that gives you all of your male characteristics, including strength, fitness, endurance, etc, is basically being suppressed.
Your T levels are now below most women’s levels. (I refer to ADT as kryptonite. Remember on the old Superman TV shows of what Kryptonite would do to him? That’s what ADT does to men.)
Resistance-training exercise starting before starting ADT is key to getting through ADT.
