Subject: So tired.
I have quite a busy life. I work two jobs that require me to be on my feet, and sometimes the shifts are 12hrs long. I also go to school full time throughout the week which is mentally demanding, and requires a good bit of studying. I am the President of my class club and that eats up time from my schedule on a regular basis. On top of all this, I am training for a 70.3 coming up in November.

With my schedule the way it is, I get about 5 hrs of sleep a night, and try to take a 20min power nap in the afternoon. It is obviously not enough, because I am constantly run down. I do my best to get in 10-15 hrs. of training time a week, but with little rest, I feel as though I am doing more harm than good sometimes.

I am looking for a good supplement that will help maximize recovery and energy with minimal rest and recovery time. Can anyone recommend something? Am I asking for a miracle?

I think the supplement you want is called "More Sleep"...

Well sure more sleep is what I WANT, it just isn't an option at this point.

Probably.

Make sure you are including recovery weeks in your training.  This will at least allow you to recover properly every few weeks.

yup, the key to that distance is lots of sleep, rest, touch-ups, (earlier hard training), and determination man! keep it up.
