>Run for 3 hours>31km>2500 calorie deficit>Incredible lethargy, feeling like I haven't eaten in a week, stomach pain and general weakness>Switch between laying down in cold shower, diarrhea on the toilet, eating high calorie candy while feeling like vomiting & drinking sports drink to refill my glycogen stores>Finally my body calms down and I stop feeling like death>Eat 3000 calories before bed because I hadn't eaten a lot that day yet>Fall into a food coma and sleep for 11 hoursYou wouldn't understand
>>84437240Bad for your joints tho
Yeah, welcome to distance running.>>84437365It isn't. That and it ruining knees is one of the biggest memes ever that even doctors and sports physical therapists still believe it:http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=403120>We did not find an increased prevalence of osteoarthritis among the runners. Our observations suggest, within the limits of our study, that long-duration, high-mileage running need not be associated with premature degenerative joint disease in the lower extremities.http://ajs.sagepub.com/content/18/4/379.short>a lifetime of long distance running at mileage levels comparable to those of recreational runners today is not associated with premature osteoarthrosis in the joints of the lower extremitieshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16790540>Long-distance running might even have a protective effect against joint degenerationhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18550323>Long-distance running among healthy older individuals was not associated with accelerated radiographic OA. These data raise the possibility that severe OA may not be more common among runners.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9489830>The presence of radiographic hip OA and the progression of radiographic knee OA was similar for older runners and nonrunners.https://journals.lww.com/acsm-csmr/Fulltext/2010/05000/Prevention_of_Running_Injuries.14.aspx>Increased training miles per week appears protective against knee injuries.
>3 hours>fat enough to burn 2500 calories>ran too hard (zone 3+) to where you exhausted glycogen instead of using your fat>has heat exhaustion>still trying to fit in a shit ton of food when you should be sipping electrolytes such as Pedialyte if you are in this situationYeah, it's like you don't know the basics of long distances, OP. Zone 2 isn't a meme when it comes to long runs. Slow the fuck down and check your ego at the door.
