SBT Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 From the Mayo Clinic Link on Creatine: Overall, creatine appears to have modest benefits for intense, repetitive exercise lasting less than 30 seconds. It does not appear to have significant benefits on endurance aerobic exercise. Caffeine may counteract the benefit of creatine on intermittent exercise performance. Furthermore, creatine in combination with caffeine and ephedra may have adverse effects. However, more research is needed in this area to confirm these interactions. Looks like Creatine and Caffeine together may be counter-beneficial. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraddA Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Goal of late: prehab. Anyone had any hip work done? Not looking forward to the procedure, but trying to get ahead of some of the imbalances/weaknesses that are bound to develop in the 4-7 months I'm out. Any flexor, psoas, lower back, etc. stuff I may not be familiar with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraddA Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 ^I wish it were piriformis! That was actually the first diagnoses I received, nearly two years ago. It was way off! Turns out I have FAI. Ultrarunning + lifting has shredded and detached the labrum. So I'm getting a new one, along with no small amount of bone shaving, and possibly microfracture. No fun.

stm25rs Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I went for a run yesterday, something I haven't done in around 4 years (lived at the beach during summer of 2010 and ran a couple times per week there). I've been weight training regularly since last October, but usually higher weight/lower rep workouts - and I don't use the cardio equipment - so my conditioning level is practically zilch. I even had some encouragement along the way - I had only been running for maybe 2-3 minutes when I passed by an older guy walking on the side walk, going the opposite direction as me. He stuck his hand out and gave me five I ran about 1.25 miles - had a 1.5 mile route planned, but switched to walking a little early. I have two goals. Run 3 miles at a 10 minute/mile pace, and get back to my middle school speed for single mile runs of a ~7 minute mile (best time was 6:4x). Is it douchey to run shirtless?

RWebb Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is it douchey to run shirtless? My general rule is to run with a shirt through the city when I reach the lake path take it off. Goal: Sub-21 5K on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted April 22, 2014 Mega Users Share Posted April 22, 2014 When I ran in FL, I'd take the shirt off when I was in the woods. When I'd get to parts of a trail with a lot of people, I'd put it back on. I don't think anyone wants to see my pasty mantitties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I almost always run with my shirt on. The only time I can remember taking it off, is when running in aruba, and the run was over 4-5 miles (Sooooo hot and humid there!). Studies have shown that runners are much more healthy than the average person, inclusive of knee and joint health. With ONE exception - Sun cancer.

jasejase Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Those pace calculators are a joke... based on those I should have always run a 345 marathon or something.... I didn't come close. LOL If your body likes the distance stuff better, it doesn't take into account that variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskiTrombone Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Still going strong with low carb. diet and 5 day per week visit to the gym. Weighed 325lb on Thanksgiving 2013. Down to 285lbs today. That's 40lbs lost in about 15 weeks with two weeks off during Christmas/New Years break. Two month update. Down to 260 as of this morning. At this pace I should be at 220 by September and roughly 205 by this Thanksgiving. If all goes well that'll be 120 lbs in one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskiTrombone Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks. Believe it or not, I'm much more determined now than when I started. I'm also putting in a lot more work since I'm able to be more active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskiTrombone Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Should be. I have extra motivation I haven't shared yet. I'm freaking beat right now though. I don't take any supplements, but I've been going hard this week. Yesterday I did 4 miles on the elliptical after an hour of my general lifting routine. Then I jumped on the treadmill and ran two miles followed by multiple situp and pushups throughout the day and an hour and a half of hockey at night. Running is the hardest part for me, but I'm trying to get better at it. As the weight melts, I should be able to run longer distances. I'm even moving to a new house right next to a quarter mile track. If that's not motivation to go out and run, don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasAyinde Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 My ex said she would give me a beej if I could completely soak a shirt in sweat during a workout. That was incredible motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
