That's actually in line with how I use it.

Definitely not a marathoner/skiier but I work out about an hour a day and I never expect Vitamin-C to prevent colds. I only take it after 2 to 3 day of sensing an incoming cold.

I remember a recent study found that vitamin C had no effect on the period or severity of a cold but zinc did. Seems to be confirmed by this :- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15496046
