CoastalWx Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yeah Scooter hasn't done any reading on it. If he had he wouldn't keep making those posts. Right, I'm talking long distances. Nobody disagrees that it helps when you run normal distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Recent studies have found running actually protects the knees. http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/The-Explainer-Can-Running-Actually-Be-Good-for-Your-Knees.html the confusing thing to me is why it didnt track knee replacements or surgery's but hip replacements in runners, unless im missing something. In my experience running catches up to most folks knees by their 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Why aren't you staying over in PVD?I thought about it. But it's only about a 50 min drive for me. And I've got a softball game to coach Sat evening . Just seemed better to sleep home and leave super early. My only fear is the leg cramps I tend to get afterwards can be excruciating . And driving doesn't mix . Hopefully the cramps are easier this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Tricky as both models look like they have a front nearby. I'll say 70 by 2pm. Partly to mostly cloudy. PVD is also trickly with srly seabreeze. Another fantastic call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ugh, that sucks. Still great you finished... not many people can do that.Yeah I guess but very disappointed in myself. I was running 7:15-7:25 miles the first 13. May have started too fast. It was so humid. I mean I don't know what dews were there but they had to have been in low 60's at least.. I started to overheat and felt nauseous and dizzy. Was just dripping sweat.. I had to back off big time. Then my right calf started cramping mile 20. The last 6.2 miles were brutal, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Normally I enjoy running and get sad when it ends but today I could not wait to finish. I love high dews but the one day I didn't need them we had them. If I hadn't throttled back I would have collapsed without a doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ugghh. Calf cramps. The worst. What was your finish time? Were the dews really that high? ...Oh, and change your screen name back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
