OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Marathon PR after 80 lbs.
To answer Dr.EM_Chicago: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.
Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Relevant to Marathon PR after 80 lbs — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 199 → 99 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
Yep. My endo said the same thing about Marathon PR after 80.
Slightly tangential to Marathon PR after 80 lbs but FranDenver reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

This is exactly right. MikeNYC_runner articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Marathon PR after 80 lbs aspect is what made the difference for me.
