Sex, the day before the marathon?

dude do everything u can not to have sex 3 weeks before the race if you want to perform really well. even 3 days before will screw you up big time. wait run good and then hit it like a champion. if you have sex the day before it could mean a diference of 4-6 min. i made that mistake the day before my half. i beg u dont. you will regret it. thanks.

Ok, I can accept three days, and maybe a week... but three weeks is way too much!! I have been single for the last two years, so sometimes few months pass by without nothing, so when I get the chance, it is very hard for me to say no, if you know what I mean. I have a date this weekend, and if it goes according to plan, I am gonna hit it hard!:-)

ran one of my best marathons after spending the entire day before banging like a screen door in a hurricane. go for it

I run terribly the day after sex. If you want to avoid it, show up, go to sleep early (your start time will probably be early anyway). Then meet up afterwards.

Most runners were against sex the night before the big day -- competitors have to get up early on the morning of the race.

"But those who said 'yes' -- with men being more 'for' than women -- had faster finishing times," organizers said.

is it very bad for performance during the race? shall I be patient till the marathon is done?...I am staying with a girl I have not seen like in 6 months when I go to Berlin for the marathon in two weeks time (I am arriving at her place the night before the marathon). don't know if I could get resist the temptation :-D....

Sex Improves performance simply because of the hormones

Sex will relax you. Get rid of that latent horniness. You will run better.

it doesn't matter if you run better or worse...

There will always be other marathons. You know this.

Get. It. Done.

Proves my point. And, Bill Rodgers said this to a group of runners about 20 years ago: "if you are really fit, you will perform well."

It's that simple.

Quick sex and good sleep will help much more than passing on the guaranteed sex and being restless before the race.

Ejaculation in itself will not degrade your performance, but sex can be a marathon in itself emotionally and physically. Keep it short.

I could have sex on the starting line and still run great! Seriously, if you are that worried make her get on top and do most of the work.

You will do well and not hinder your performance if you just get a b******* from a street whore on the way to your girlfriend's place. Make sure there is a urologist's office just passed the finish line. The itching from the crabs that you'll catch from the street whore will make to run fast through the finish. Sweaty crabs are a sure fire way to enchance performance - no pun intended.

This is why distance runners don't get the respect they desire. You're seriously asking if you should have sex with a girl you like, and this may be you're only chance? Are you crazy? Do it.

Would Wilt Chamberlain have turned it down? Not a chance. Different situations, I know, but still, have some balls OFF the course/track for once.

unless you are into seriously kinky stuff or you are a "power bottom".. I think you can do your little 12 min of sex and be just fine at the starting line.

have sex DURING the race, that would be cool.

Have her be on top and you'll feel no effects of it the next day.
