A member asked:
My mcv, mch, and mchc are all below avg. could this make it difficult for endurance training and rigorous exercise? if so, what can be done to help?

Thal, right?: I see you have mild alpha-thal. This is a non-problem if you're not anemic. Different people have different capacities for endurance training / super-fitness, but as a mature adult, for you the fun is taking part rather than competing with the 18 year olds. Make your body do what it's willing to, and enjoy yourself.
