I recently bought some Tribulus Terrestris, which is an herb that has been found to increase testosterone levels. I did this because I have read that long distance running can lower testosterone levels.
If this does increase my testosterone levels, what effects am I likely to see in my training? Faster recovery?
You are likely to gain huge ass muscles. Then you will proceed to getting laid.

Ask Mary Slaney.
What I am looking for is the reason why testosterone can help. Is it just that it repairs muscle more quickly? Or are there other physiological effects?
bump.
Boosts your metabolism and you get leaner, repairs muscles faster. That's all i can think of
where did you get that herb? how much?
I had also been interested in tribulus terrestris. I did some research on the internet and finally concluded that it really isn't that effective in raising testosterone levels. Many articles discredit it. Of course the people selling it will say it works fantastic.
- Eat red meat.
- Get lots of sleep.
- Dominate other runners in races
- Look at porn.
... which is an herb that has been found to increase testosterone levels
has been found by who? I think you will find that believing manufacturer's claims will lower your IQ and your bank account balance.
That root is useless. If you really want to raise your testosterone levels, consume as much soy protein as possible.
Mary Slaney never tested positive for increased levels of testosterone.
having sex with women and being around their natural fragrance helps males with their running, its true.
Well a great example of this is Floyd Landis. Although he still denies taking the testosterone that helped him win the Tour De France he tested positive with abnormal amounts in his blood stream. If his performance offers any insight to distance running then yes it will help you recover faster. But increased amounts of testosterone is also linked to hair loss. So go buy some rogaine.

Word it however you want. Mary with the help of Alberto boosted het testosterone levels using an artificial means. It is interesting that Alberto currently is prescribing Testo Boost to his female athletes.

Yes, sounds like a really good idea. The isoflavones in soy protein mimic estrogen in the bloodstream. I always wanted some man-boobs.
You wasted your money
Do some research on pubmed.
I've struggled with low T for years, and about four months ago began supplementing with ZMA.
In my experiment of one, it works. I can't explain how or why, but it does. I find I recover more fully, but not necessarily quicker. I also find increased stamina, both on the road and with sex. I'm more aggressive in workouts (i.e., hills, weights), as well as racing.
I have a bona-fide testosterone deficiency, which this product appears to have helped me immeasurably. I'm 40 and a competitive marathoner.

Yeah, that's the rub. Size doesn't help if the chemistry isn't right.
i thought this thread was supposed to be about the relationship between testosterone levels and long distance running. And not between the size and functionality of your attributes...
