Why are serious runners usually big drinkers? It seems counterintuitive
>>76762673As in drinking water? Probably to stay hydrated.
>>76762689Alcohol
>>76762673They drink a lot of water for hydration
Excessive Alcohol consumption being normalized in white normie western college settings
>>76762673I don't remember the video, but I remember one where Klokov was asked about drinking, and he said that he reckons pretty much any professional athlete needs to drink, in order to wind down and relax. Essentially, they'd otherwise be too neurotic about their training and end up doing more harm than good.If you accept this logic, then it would hold especially true for sports with more demanding training, hence especially endurance sports.
>>76762673Im a serious runner and I've never understood this either. Ive been in races where part of the free stuff they give you is a free beer. I just gave my ticket to someone else because fuck that. Im in the middle of marathon training and I had a drink at night last week just because I was curious how bad it would be. And holy fuck it was bad. My sleep was shit, my rest heart rate shot up about 10 points higher than where it normally is(for reference mine is typically in the low 40s) and my heart rate variability tanked. Fuck that
>>76763589Beer during a race isn't crazy. It's a bunch of simple carbs and electrolytes
>>76762673Alcohol inhibits muscle growth and it has carbs, perfect for any weakling that wants to run far away from an alpha like me
>>76763218Holy cope
>>76763589Have you been to runner after parties? Everyone gets shitfaced
>>76763701the fact it tastes like piss is enough for me not to want to. And while yeah it has carbs, it's going to dehydrate like all alcohol does. There are better ways to get carbs in during and after a race. >>76763831Im aware. I get drinking is part of "running culture". Im just saying its stupid and makes no sense at a certain level. Like you want to celebrate your half hour 5k and 4+ hour marathon getting drunk, great. For the level Ive competed at and work to maintain, there's no point. Alcohol doesn't help get me to podiums, and I take that feeling over a buzz every day

>>76764044>these druggies are better than alcohol drinkers
>>76764052hookah and weed is not that hard of drugs manif op isnt into alcohol then its better for OP to hang out with muslims, blacks and religous straight edge christian mormons that do marathons rather than white normie runners that drink just as much as they did in their college days
>>76764044Alcohol has been normalized for thousands of years your retards they had bars in Rome
>>76764063Proves my point right that alcoholism is built into white culture including the romans. whites (including hispanics are basically white wannabes ) and asians have alcoholic drinking culture built in. religous straight edge whites, blacks and muslims don't really have alcoholic culture. OP is better of doing hookah than alcohol since he dont want to drink alcohol.
>>76762673I don’t drink really, but the few times I have and worked out the next day, I always felt strong as fuck. Maybe from all the sugars becoming glucose for the muscles. I have no idea
>>76762673Because when they're not running from their problems they're trying to drown them.
>>76762673Ive never met a rooner that drank even a drop of alcohol ever. They are always psycho straight edge faggots.
My high school track team drank like fish. When shitty jv runners like me are running 5:30 miles and the best runners are doing 4:30 or less everyone can drink. It’s a lot of fun at that age you feel no ill effects and its probably healthy as it cleans out your system and gives you massive beer shits etc.
>>76764069SAARSAARNo beer Saar Vishnu will get angry
>>76764406was everyone white and hispanic?
>>76764409lol imagine going to school with Hispanics or blacks No we ran against guys like Hughes One time p Shaw was so hungover he passed out on the field after a race and got a massive sunburn
>>76764409One of the coaches was this woman runner who would drive by in a minivan while we were out running and yell at us
Hispanics don’t run they play baseballBlacks don’t run distance either unless they are literally AfricanAsians don’t run or play sports
>>76764413was she white? she probably got drunk and slept with one of the runners
>>76764426Everyone is white in rich towns Adultery is a lower class behavior
>>76764435>Adultery is a lower class behaviorrich dudes have secret mistresses , secret wives, secret baby mamas
>>76764440Those are trump types that would have multiple wives if it was legal. No one is throwing away an idealic stable upper class family to coom a few times. That is impulsive nigger behavior.
If you are younger than 30, you can get away with a lot of shit. Alcohol, shitty sleep and retarded amounts of training volume seem to not have any negative effect at all and you'll be making gains no matter what. Also pain killer and general PED abuse. Once you approach your mid 30s, you'll be fucked though. It's either a more and more ascetic lifestyle, more pain killers/PEDs or shitty performance.Also some just don't give a fuck and some realize that ascetic work ethic is pointless at a certain point, because you max out pretty fast. You cannot grind your way to a top elite level, so might as well enjoy the ride.
>>76764362That's because you're not a rooner. Marathon runners for example are massive drunks
Alcoholism is two things>lack of impulse control>traumaA lot of the lack of impulse control people typically have ADHD or some other ''disorder''. Running is basically the number 1 replacement thing you can do when your brain doesnt have enough dopamine that isnt destructive. Getting the runners high and feeling accomplished while pushing yourself instead of doing meth or drinking alcohol
