Discussion Phenylpiracetam and running?

Has anyone tried using phenylpiracetam to enhance running performance? I am running a local fun 10k race in a few days and really want to try and run sub 40min. I have experience using phenylpiracetam in the past for weightlifting and studying (both of which felt effective, particularly weightlifting), but I have never tried using to run. I normally just run after consuming caffeine.

Phenylpiracetam helped me on my runs, fun fact the Olympics doesn’t allow the use of Phenylpiracetam because of how effectively it improves performance.

I recognize it's efficacious, but I can't seem to find much evidence or anecdotes for cardiovascular/running performance being improved specifically.

Super good for cardio. I use it for hockey games, treadmill running, rowing etc. Also, have seen other anecdotes where people said it helped their marathon times

Anything banned by WADA, is gonna increase your performance... I guess WADA is Anti-Human, LOL!! That's why, I am a proponent of Enhanced Games.
