anyone here drink before medium or easy runs? I am posting this seriously, and i don't mean like get hammered and then go run (though anyone who's run home drunk from at night will know that temptation - " man, i feel great, i bet i could pb right now!"). but seriously, i've occasionally had a beer or 2 before running like 4 or 5 miles at a slightly quicker than normal pace, and it usually helps more than hurts, at least in the my percieved abilities. I also find recovery quicker sometimes.
I've had a beer after work and then gone running....I'm belching alcohol and when you run, you realize how a BAC machine works....
1 or 2 beers won't hurt you too much. any more than that before a run though and i'd imagine it gets more difficult. i suppose it's all personal too, kind of like how soon you can run after eating.
If you can't wait until after your run to drink a beer then you have more than a running problem. Why not snort a line or 2 also? Think of how quick you'll recover then.
Well for starters, one is a performance enhancer (cocaine), and the other isn't (alcohol); so that is a good reason why not.
I have had 3 20 ozs. of good/dark beer and have run fine with a couple hours of downtime after the drinks/lunch.
Got ya!
Who said anything about cocaine?
then what would you "snort a line or 2" of?
Ummmmmm let's see, heroin, amphetamines, barbituates, hallucinagenics, actually any drug except grass and crack.
Note: Just don't snort a line of heroin the same size as a line of coke, you will overdose. See Mia in Pulp Fiction
