Im that knackered I cant even Party

[Douglas]

Do you all mean to say... that ONE night of partying can pretty much reverse the benefits of months of running and cardio excercises?

[Scrap]

I dont think it does its good for moral, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Oh. I was about to say, I don't see how just one night of hard partying can magically suck all the stamina out of someone...

Yeah, I imagine it'd be pretty much impossible to smoke and still be a regular track runner. Well, at least not be a very sorry one.

if i have one ciggarette, i feel it for at least a week when i run.. there is that "catch" when i take a deep breath..

anyway, clubber, if you haven't ran in a long time, then take a day or two off after you run man.. your body is sore and needs time to recover, it's not used to it..

i'll normally do a quick mile 5.5-6 min, twice a day every other day, and every day i don't do that i'll run about 3-4 miles at a decent pace.. but there is no way i could run 3-4 miles everday.. my body would ache.

While were on the subject, how many do any preperation to run. A very forgotten aspect , run or do anything and fail to prepare at the end you better be prepared to fail .

Hi Scrap,

I have to admit that I don't actually prepare specifically for running much other than to make sure i have a good 20 to 40 minute walk warm up.

Apart from that i used to do a few static stretches before a run but I've read a few contrasting ideas about whether or not that actually prevents injuries at all.

I'd be really interested to hear about what other preparation you'd recommend though because I'm trying to build my kms up again at the moment and while it feels good my muscles are not liking me very much sometimes.

I've gotten to where I do a bit of stretching.
