hey guys i am making my schedule for next semester and was wondering if class after practice was hard. i have never had to go to class after a hard practice and was wondering if it would be hard to concentrate/learn. its class after practice or at 8:00 am.
I'd say class after practice. 8:00 class is alright after two weeks but, man, it sucks later in the semester. Just make sure you have time to take a shower. I've had class after practice and it was fine. Got an A-
I've had trouble staying awake in classes after running, especially if it's warm out, the class is boring, or I'm sleep deprived (or all three).
It's hard, but maybe you've gotta do it. Depends on the class. It would be tough for me to take a hard physics class in the evening like that.
i always made sure to bring my books to practice and extra clothes to change in to just in case practice went late. and also a powerbar with water/gatorade in case i have to skip dinner to get to class on time or only have time to eat a little really fast before class. human physiology lab didn't work out for me very well because we were always experimenting on ourselves and they weren't always condusive to my training and eating schedule (like only driking 1L of fluids 12 hours before class and no voiding your bladder until class time, or no eating 6 hours prior to class so we can eat special food to take our blood glucose every half hour for 3-4 hours, not the best results for me because i didn't follow the rules).
this is what running seriously is all about- dedication,committment, motivation and hard discipline- all in equal measures.
Your coach and tutors should help and support you in your running and studies and come up with a good acceptable personal time management plan which will help you reach your goals and aims for the future.
Its hard but others have/still manage it - and are winners!
Get organised and good luck- nothing is impossible-just do it man!
I had a class right after practice this semester. Literally had to jog to get there. It usually was not awful, especially because it was a lecture-based class with very little participation, but some days were brutal. If a tough workout (especially on a hot day!) would run long, it wasn't unusual to sneak into class late and end up sweating bullets for the first 20 minutes. Then my paper would get soggy and my shaky handwriting definitely showed. For the most part, I'm pretty sure the timing of the class didn't affect my grades. Getting up for that 8 am class would probably be much worse, especially if you sacrificed breakfast to make it there.
Then again, you'd also have to take into consideration the professor. I did have a foreign professor that had a huge aversion to wearing sweats and bringing drinks to class. Definitely had to clean myself up before walking in there!
