I felt like crap for a long time so got tested for iron and my doctor's office called me and said it wasn't iron deficiency, but I haven't actually picked up the results myself yet. My doctor didn't even want to test for iron because he said there wasn't any way a male could have low iron unless they were losing lots of blood. Anyway I was wondering if maybe the results were normal-low for a sedentary person but maybe too low for a distance runner? Is that possible?
