Do you stretch every time you run? Preferably after, when everything is fully warm and more pliable.

10 minutes should be enough to hit pretty much everything.

then again, my vote goes to deadlift. it always goes to deadlift.
i know this is late, but the deadlift is a true indcator of strength...

Soft tissue work would be foam rolling, massages, etc. I think stretching is even considered soft tissue work???

If you started in late Dec. We will say it's been 3+ months. Take a week off. During ya week off, relax, do some stretching etc. No lifting or jogging. A pure week off. I think it will do you good.

I took a week off somewhere within the 3-4 months I have been running...I think I was just run down. OK so today I popped a few tylenol and started off really slow on the treadmill...then eventually worked my short little legs up to a comfortable speed. So the 7 miles tonight felt really good. I made sure I stretched after and will massage the legs to keep them loose.

I know I didn't have speed on last nights run so I'm wondering if it was just a bad night or the extra +1% on the incline killed me.

Glad ya felt good during your run Bao.

Sat and Sun off days for me. I feel like a bum. I have 1-2 more weeks in my current training program. Then I think it's time to re-evaluate things. Meet still looks like a go in May, all things considered.

Been on the Gaspari SuperPump250 for a few days now. I was so thoroughly unimpressed that I went out and bought some Muscle Tech Na NO Vapor. We shall give that a week and see.....

Hit back today, didn't have much gas after hockey and working until 3AM last night, but I tore it up anyway.

Did pull-ups, varying my grip from ultra wide to close grip. Got 20 the first set, was down to 9 by set 7.

Light bent-over rows, 205 for several high rep sets.

Cable rows with an angled close grip, 285 for sets of 14 down to 8.

Super wide pulldowns, sets at 240 for 15 reps.

I earned my sirloin burger and whole grain rice today.

Ive heard similar things about SuperPump. Not much to mention about MT's junk either.
Been back on Shock Therapy and loving it. Best method so far has been 1 server, with extra Beta-alanine, simple carbs and BCAA's pre-workout. Then during workout I sip 1/2 serving and carbs w/ BCAA's. Been a great combo so far.

Might have to give that a try next, Frank. I have had two good workouts with the MT, but I know that other factors can be involved, so I will give it a few more days before I decide if I truly like it.

As for the SuperPump, I have been disappointed with every Gaspari product I have ever tried....shame on me for trying another.

Did a 5k race around the boston metro area today...I actually just jogged since i didn't want my buddy's wife to be left behind. It was a nice pace to get the juices flowing in the legs. Tomorrow is cross training and lower body.

Hope everyone had a great weekend session...

Me too Frank....I was so relieved to be able to run that far and not worry about my shins.
