Increased power due increased abstinence

A guy who I am coaching has gone from 20 miles/week to 45. I found out why: wifey cut him off.

^^

I was an absolute stud in HS. We’re talking 2:27 1k, sub 4:10 mile, and sub 9 3200. All on almost no training. Then, when I got to college I found myself in a relationship and was having sex multiple times a day for my entire freshman year. My times ranked and I couldn’t even break 15:40 for a track 5k. Over the summer I found god and realized the error of my ways and I’ve been abstinent ever since. I have since gotten infinitely better and I am once again a stud now that it has been almost 2 years of abstinence

A good friend of mine ran the race of his life (25 second 2-mile pr at the conference meet) roughly 20-minutes after a 'tug' from the then-gf. It's important to note here he said there was no actual 'completion.'

I never tried attempted it myself, not for a lack of trying though.

I think that there is one major positive to this social distancing, especially for us collegiate runners. Being forced to social distanced move away from campus has pushed us away from our training partners, facilities and coaches. Many who do not follow the way of the LORD will see this time as lousy time to train without all those resources and increased restrictions from the NCAA on practices and such. But if there is one thing we have learned from the boys at BYU, resisting the temptations of the devils core provides athletes with insermentable amounts of pure power. The temptations of the devil while at school often blind runners from the easiest way to get faster, abstinence. Forced social distancing is going to make this fall the fastest fall of all time as athletes come back to campus with pent up rage.

Except not, anyone who's single is just going to be beating it, maybe even more now then they did when it was possible to have a social life.

Also multiple studies have confirmed that sex before a race may actually help you run faster soooooo….

Was this in some dingy restroom underneath the bleachers, or just under a blanket sitting in the bleachers? Classy gal.

Sitting against the wall in the high school hallway. Very bold, and very out of character for him.

nah bro your premise is wrong wrote:

You are really falling for this left winged fake news!? These studies are conducted by the devil himself, tricking our youth and stealing their power!
