1. Thanks for the spell check. Do you have any useful tips to share?

2. I'd like to see your research supporting your conclusion of "come on". Here's the
conclusion of J. Science Med Sport 2009 May; 12(3):417-21 on why cold water works: http://denverfitnessjournal.com/archives/recovery-restoration-methods-for-endurance-athletes-part-ii-cold-water-immersion

3. The caffeine in the chocolate helps and gives you the right ratio between protein and carbohydrates: http://www.chocolatemilk.com/recovery-drink/ http://www.chocolatemilk.com/after-workout/

4. From my personal observations in road races, most people follow the wind of the road and never bother to aim for the inside turns. Also, Ryan Hall ran some good bee-lines at Boston, eventhough the elite pack did not.

5. Dirt provides more cushioning but usually forces you to work harder to run at a specific speed. Trail and dirt road running produce greater leg-muscle power, with less total damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments, compared with hard-road rambling. Ask a Kenyan.


1. Useful tip: if you're going to start a thread about useful tips, either have some of your own or simply ask the question and watch from the sidelines.

2. So you don't understand the word 'immersion' and how it differs significantly from the word 'rinse'?

3. Caffeine gives you the right ratio of carbs to proteins? Are you friggin' serious? Carbs to proteins gives you the right ratio!

4. Then you race with some dumb runners. But hey, you're apparently behind them anyway so maybe it's to your benefit...

5. Dirt doesn't provide "cushioning". Another word you should check out.[/quote]

1. I listed 5 useful tips in my initial post, and then backed them all up. You have listed zero useful tips. Do you have any tips to share? I didn't think so.

2. That's why I said a rinse is "like" a mini ice bath, and not that a rinse is the same as a bath. This thread is about tips that take little time, skill, or effort. I don't have the time after a lunchtime run to take a bath.

3. Chocolate has caffeine AND carbohydrates to create the right balance with the protein in the milk. Are you backing away from your earlier statement that "..the chocolate part of the milk has absolutely nothing to do with anything."?

4. Watch the lead pack in any marathon. They are constantly making abrupt changes once they figure out which way the course goes. You would know this if you were in the lead pack.

5. Drop a golf ball on ashpalt, and then drop it on a dirt road if you don't believe that a dirt road provides cushioning.

Next time do your homework before you respond to one of my posts.
