Myth buster running time..

[quarry206]

Ok being in the military, everybody has a different quick fix to helping your run time.

well I was wondering who has heard some, who has tried them, and who things they are myth, fact, or placebo.

*Take an advil an hour before running to keep from muscle cramps

*drink tons and tons of water the day before

*take an asprin right before running

*cut out sugar and caffeine for 24 hours prior to the run, then drink a red bull 20mins before running.

*get a massage the evening before you run for time.

*eat whole grain pasta the night before.


truth to some, myth to some.. just wondering things people have tried or had work or not work

blah, thats shit. You need something that you know works, like, determination and music. Its also a good idea to have carbs a few hours before you run. Pasta digests quick and therefore leaves you hungry soon after, doing nothing for the next day.

One myth that may prove true is popping a viagra before any physical activity, I have some buddies who play college fb who swear by it. From a physiological standpoint, I wouldn't doubt it would give some advantage maybe just negligible though.
