Timepoints include prior to starting treatments or exercise (baseline), prior to the first 5 km run (pre 5 km), 24 h after the first 5 km run (24 h post 5 km), 48 h after the first 5 km run (48 h post 5 km) prior to the final 16 km run (pre 16 km), 24 h after the final 16 km run (post 16 km), and 48 h after the final 16 km run (48 h post 16 km). Values are presented as least squared means with their standard error.
