@Garwboy I don't know about a high but I almost always get a 'low' about an hour or two after a run when I crash out for 15-30 minutes nap after a run :) Perhaps related to Crohn's and kidney disease but still the case post transplant now I have as good kidney function as was ever measured in the past.
