Running Doc: What to eat and drink pre- and post-workout

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:04:43 GMT

clipped by: Lexica
clipper's remarks: French fries and chocolate milk, anyone?

More:

Post workout, a recovery drink that has carbs as well as added protein is best (in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of carbohydraterotein) so as to have amino acids available for repair. If you do not have a “recovery drink” be sure to eat protein in your next meal. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, tomato juice, and chocolate milk are all good food alternatives to the scientific drinks. Many runners I know love French fries and chocolate milk after a marathon—it works great and you deserve the treat!

Recovery drinks and foods are an important consideration and should be practiced in training.

In order to understand what to eat and drink, you need to understand what you are “recovering” from. When you exercise, muscle membrane breaks down on a microscopic level and there are mico-tears of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Healing (and minimizing post-event muscle soreness) depends on having amino acids in your body to re-build the protein in these structures. One also should replenish carbs and fats that were used to provide energy. Therefore, a good diet all week that includes these food groups is important, as is a good pre-workout (or pre-race) meal.

My favorite pre-workout (or race) meal is the “Elvis bagel”

peanut butter and banana on a bagel

On hot days, I use a salted bagel to get extra salt in my system. (I don't use gels; I like real food.)

Timing before the run is individual and should be practiced in training.

Running Doc: Dealing with side stitches

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:00:37 GMT

clipped by: Lexica
clipper's remarks: More:

For relief: Stop. Take long, deep breaths. Stretch to the sky...then bend at the waist with your arms extended above your head to the opposite side. I call this the “swoosh” stretch, because you look like the Nike logo.

A word of caution, since I am a doctor: A side stitch can sometimes be felt all the way up to the shoulder. But this kind of pain may signal a heart attack, especially if it is on the left side and persists after you've spent a few minutes stretching. And if you get a side stitch each time you exercise, you could also have a problem with blood flow to the intestine. So if you experience these symptoms, see a doctor!

Clip Source: runningdoctor.runnersworld.com

Anyone who pumps his legs fast while breathing rapidly can get caught in the clenches of a side stitch

the phenomenon is not fully understood

a “side stitch” is most likely a cramp in the diaphragm—the large muscle located between your lungs and abdomen that controls breathing

often caused when the diaphragm isn't getting enough blood during exercise

how a “side stitch” most likely happens: Pumping your legs increases the pressure on your abdominal muscles, which press up against the diaphragm. At the same time, rapid breathing expands your lungs, which presses down on the diaphragm. The dual pinching from above and below shuts off the flow of blood and oxygen to the diaphragm. Then the diaphragm muscle cramps.

food itself may add to the diaphragm's distress

Prevention has been shown to be best accomplished by eating less fatty food and eating further from your workout

With better endurance levels, the incidence of getting the stitch will decrease.

How much should I drink during long runs?

clipper's remarks: The revised fluid recommendations from the International Marathon Medical Director’s Association (IMMDA).

Clip Source: aimsworldrunning.org

What should you drink? The evidence on this is clear. If your event or workout is longer than 30 minutes you should be drinking a sports drink.

There is actually decreased benefit to watering down or diluting sports drinks or alternating sports drinks with water.

How much should you drink? Drinking too much or too little can be of risk to health and performance.

your body’s need for fluid is individual

We offer the following ideas and guidelines for you to consider

Try to drink to thirst

seems way too simple to be true

new scientific evidence says that thirst will actually protect athletes from the hazards of both over and underdrinking

If you are not thirsty, try to refrain from drinking

We endorse thirst as the best scientifically supported method for you to use

alternate methods may not take into account changes in ambient conditions, running speed and terrain which can all change dynamically which thirst as a method to use does

Aides: Obama not watching election returns

From CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry

Aides: Obama not watching election returns.

Washington (CNN) – President Obama is not planning to watch Tuesday nights election returns, Obama aides Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod tell CNN.

Obama is more likely to watch Tuesday night's Chicago Bulls game than any political coverage, according to Axelrod.

The president's senior staff have also decided not to hold a watch party to keep an eye on election returns as they come in.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was spotted in workout clothes leaving the White House campus at 7 p.m. ET, just as polls were closing in Virginia. Axelrod told CNN he has a dinner outside the White House to attend.

The 3 Best Abdominal Exercises that Are Not Traditional Ab Exercises

clipped by: lenidec
clipper's remarks: These 3 abdominal exercises will not only strengthen your abs but increase your metabolism to burn more fat. This is the philosophy behind The Truth About Abs of Mike Geary. The more muscle groups are used in an exercise the more you burn fat and the six pack abs will come out.

The 3 Best Abdominal Exercises that Are Not Traditional Ab Exercises

A unique ab workout that doesn't contain your typical boring stomach exercises - no crunches or situps here

Instead of the typical ab routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc... I like to give my readers better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work their entire body while also working their abs... thus building rock hard abs & core, but also creating a much better fat-burning workout than a typical ab workout.

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
1b. Front Squats with Barbell
1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

A good rep scheme to use with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Mountain climbers can be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) instead of "reps".

Even if you eat five minutes before exercise, you’ll digest the snack and burn it during exercise, assuming you will be exercising at a pace you can maintain for more than 30 minutes

target 0.5 grams carbohydrate per pound of body weight within the hour before you exercise

if you weigh 150 pounds, you should target about 300 calories

teach your intestinal track to tolerate the pre-exercise food so you can enjoy higher energy but avoid undesired pit stops

If you are exercising longer than an hour, plan to consume carbs and fluids during exercise

about 100 to 250 calories of carbohydrates per hour after the first hour of a 2 or 3 hour event

fuel your muscles, maintain a normal blood sugar and prevent the dreaded bonk

Do NOT "hold off" until after your workout to eat

Your body doesn't care if you ingest solid or liquid carbohydrates

learn which sports snacks settle best for your body

if you workout hard twice a day, you should consume post-exercise carbohydrates as soon as tolerable
