Running Doc: How to prevent "marathon feet"

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:12:30 GMT

clipper's remarks: More:

Here are some things you can do to prevent and/or treat "marathon feet":

* Train on the same surface you plan to run on. If you are training for a marathon on roads, the treadmill or a soft track will not prepare your body for the pounding…

* After the race, and you are urinating normally…you may take [an NSAID] (e.g., aspirin or ibuprofen) unless your doctor has told you that you cannot due to a contraindication.

* Most important: Immediately upon returning home or to your hotel post-race, soak your feet for 15 minutes in an ice bath. This is the best way to avoid this middle-of-the-night pain.

Now, if you have pain the Monday after the event, 15-minute ice baths three times a day and [an NSAID] may be necessary for two days to ease the inflammation. If you feel bony tenderness, see a doctor sooner than later -- what you have may not be "marathon feet" but rather a stress or full fracture of a bone in your foot.

I just finished the New York City Marathon, my first marathon
last night -- starting at about 3 a.m. -- both my feet started killing me. I could not walk! It hurt even to have my comforter rest on them! Is this normal? What is it? How can I prevent it?
what you write about is not at all uncommon and is actually the greatest complaint call I receive in the middle of the night post first-time marathon finish. As with most injuries and conditions, it is most easily prevented if understood.
What you are describing, if there is no bony tenderness or swelling, is what I call "marathon feet." In basic terms, it is inflamed soft tissues of the feet from the street pounding of the 26.2 (although also seen at the 13.1 distance as well) roads. We most commonly see this in people who have trained on softer surfaces
or who race in thin racing flats when they did not train in them. These inflamed soft tissues get more and more painful until it truly is hard to walk or even put a comforter over them.

Taking a break breaks the tedium

People are adaptable. We quickly adjust to a new life circumstance—for better or worse—and consider it normal. Although this helps us when our situation worsens, it means that when circumstances improve, we soon become hardened to new comforts or privileges. Scoring air-conditioning, a bigger house, or a fancy title gives us only a brief boost in happiness before we start to take it for granted. As Aldous Huxley wrote, “Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities.” That’s the hedonic treadmill.

One cure for this “hedonic treadmill” is deprivation. Deny yourself something, and your pleasure in it will be re-activated when the denial stops.

Deprivation is one of the most effective, although unenjoyable, cures for the hedonic treadmill.

Easily Lose Stubborn Stomach Fat and Never Go Near a Treadmill Again

Getting Rid of stubborn stomach fat is simple if you follow a few basic steps. First, dump your treadmill. I know this sounds contrary to what most people would tell you, but it’s only making you out of breath, and it’s not getting you the results you need, or you wouldn’t be looking at this article. Why don’t we be completely honest, most of us want a thin stomach and six pack abs, but no matter how hard we work at the gym, our stomachs are usually the very last areas to lose fat. That can be pretty discouraging pretty quickly, especially if you’ve been running on a treadmill or riding a bike like a lion is chasing you. Being out of breath and fat isn’t supposed to be the point of a workout, burning fat is. So why can’t we lost that stomach fat faster? Doesn’t there have to be a better way?

'Too-Fat' Four Month-Old Baby Denied Health Care

clipper's remarks: The family plans to appeal Rocky Mountain's denial.

Clip Source: www.kptv.com

A Colorado couple said their 4-month-old son was denied health insurance because he is overweight.

Alex Lange, who measures 25 inches long and weighs 17 pounds, was denied coverage after underwriters ruled him a high-risk patient because of his "pre-existing condition" -- obesity.

Bernie and Kelli Lange tried to get insurance for their family with Rocky Mountain Health Plans when they were told by a broker the company couldn't cover Alex because he was "too fat."

Alex is in the 99th percentile for height and weight for babies his age. Insurers don't take babies above the 95th percentile, no matter how healthy they are otherwise, the Denver Post reported on its Web site

Bernie Lange said there is something absurd with denying an infant coverage.

"I could understand if we could control what he's eating. But he's 4 months old. He's breast-feeding. We can't put him on the Atkins Diet or on a treadmill," Bernie Lange told Grand Junction television station KKCO.

Once the most fearsome fighter in the world, Mike Tyson broke down in tears as he described his unspeakable grief after the death of his daughter Exodus.

Mike broke his silence in an emotional interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, recalling how his little girl strangled herself on a treadmill cord.

Although nearly five months has passed since the tragic accident, Mike Tyson still struggles to accept it. However, he doesn’t want to know the details.

“But I know somebody’s to blame for it, there will be a problem.”

See my recent clips about how research shows obesity has NO EFFECT on longevity. What does? Being fit and active.

Colorado parents of a chubby 4-month-old baby had to fight hard to get their son health insurance.

An insurance company initially denied Alex Lange coverage saying he had a "pre-existing condition" of obesity and was therefore a high-risk patient.

Baby Alex is 25 inches long, weighs 17 pounds, and falls into the 99th percentile for height and weight for his age

Rocky Mountain Health Plans insurance underwriters said that it was industry standard to deny coverage to new patients above the 95th percentile. They said the rule includes babies but this was the first time they had ever actually rejected one.

The boy's mother, Kelli Lange, told the Post that she fed her baby only breast milk and that the insurance company's rejection didn't change how she fed him.

"I could understand if we could control what he's eating

But he's 4 months old. He's breast-feeding. We can't put him on the Atkins diet or on a treadmill. There is just something absurd about denying an infant [coverage]."

Muscle Mass Gaining Tips

Bodybuilding Tips For Hardgainers

Start by reading the food labels to understand how many calories you're eating. Then add 500 to that number and start eating that many calories every day. Aim for about one gram of protein per pound of body weight each day.

You can do 2-3 days of light cardio on the treadmill, or elliptical machine, but keep it to around 15-20 minutes per session. To lose fat and maintain muscle, you'd do better to perform high intensity intervals—for instance, running all-out for a minute and then backing off to a light jog for two minutes. Do this for 15-20 minutes, 2-3x a week.

Stretching of any kind (getting into a stretched position and holding it, or moving fluidly in and out of position), using a foam roller , and getting massages will all help keep you flexible, prevent injuries and improve recovery between workouts.

"More fit" beats "less fat" for a longer life

Clip Source: www.webmd.com

Staying fit is more important than losing fat for older adults, new research suggests.

Fitness was found to be a strong predictor of longevity in the study, which involved adults ages 60 and older, while obesity had little influence on death risk.

Study participants who were more fit, as measured by treadmill exercise testing, had a lower risk of death than those who were unfit, even when they were overweight or obese.

A low level of fitness was associated with a higher risk of death from all causes.

Better fitness was associated with less likelihood of diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Death rates for those with the highest fitness levels were less than half that of those who were physically unfit.

But being overweight and even obese was not an independent predictor of death risk.

Among people who were fit, survival rates were similar for normal weight, overweight, and obese people.

Paralysed Dog walks again after Pioneering Treatment

Paralysed dog walks again after pioneering treatment that could help humans with spinal injuries

A paralysed dog has been put back on his feet again, raising hopes of a treatment for humans with severe spinal injuries.

Henry the miniature dachshund was unable to walk after discs ruptured in his spine last November.

In a pioneering treatment, scientists at Cambridge University took cells from his nose and injected them into his spine.

These cells are used because they aid the growth of new nerve fibres.

Now the six-year-old dog is walking and wagging his tail again.

Scientists originally found the treatment worked on rats. Professor Nick Jeffery and Professor Robin Franklin, who are running the trial, then decided to try the procedure on dogs because spinal injuries are common in many breeds.

Henry has also received physiotherapy and is monitored on a treadmill.

Dr Jeffrey said: 'We hope if the results are positive in a few years time the treatment could perhaps be used to help people.'

Home Fitness Gym Equipment - Elliptical Exercisers

Home Fitness Gym Equipment - Elliptical Exercisers

Elliptical exercisers are cross-training, stationary type of workout machines that offer total body workouts without the high impact that can damage the knees or ankles. Elliptical trainer was invented by Larry D. Miller for Precor and was patented in 2004. Miller got the idea for the machine while filming his daughter running alongside a car.

Elliptical trainers reduce the stress and strain on the legs through an elliptical motion. Your feet never leave the pedals and it feels like walking in mid-air. Furthermore, there is no reverse action. The elliptical movement mimics the natural movement of the ankle, knee and hip joints during running, jogging or walking. And like treadmills, elliptical can provide a vigorous workout, but without the impact of running on a treadmill.

Jack LaLanne puts a reporter through her paces

"I don't care if people are 80 or 85 when they start," he said. "They can double their strength and double their endurance in six weeks. You won't be able to do what you could when you were 20, but do the best you can with the equipment you have."

LaLanne has slowed down in recent years, but suffers no joint pain and only occasional muscle aches. He's had two knee replacements - from football and car crash injuries, not exercise. He's never taken steroids, but did develop his own line of vitamins and of course, his juicer, made famous on late-night infomercials.…

"Working out three or four times a week is plenty for most people, but it's an ego thing with me," he said of his regimen. "I'd like to see how long I can keep it up."

In his prime, he could lift two 150-pound dumbbells doing chest presses and set a record of 1,033 pushups in 23 minutes at age 42.

Guess what Jack LaLanne, the nation's first fitness guru, has to say about exercise?
"I hate to work out," he confided, "but I like the results, so I do it."
agreed to do an unusual thing: work out with a reporter, even though he never works out with anyone, even his wife
LaLanne has professed the benefits of weightlifting and a low-sugar, meat-free diet for 70 years - decades before it was fashionable with the public and health professionals - and he still lifts for an hour and swims 30 minutes, seven days a week.
Before we started, I asked for his thoughts about reading on the treadmill or listening to music at the gym.
"Bull-!" he barked. "I concentrate on what I'm doing. I exercise in the morning to get it over with and get on with my day."
While demonstrating, he grunted like former tennis champ Monica Seles. He now lifts only 50-pound dumbbells in each hand doing chest presses (still impressive), but said the point isn't how much you lift. It's lifting. Period.
