Regular 585 Pueblo, Colorado | Subject: RE: Say it ain't so... From the article: "In fact, research has shown that athletes who consume alcohol at least once a week are more than twice as likely as non-drinkers to get injured. Researchers attribute this in part to the “hangover effect,” which has been shown to reduce sports performance by up to 11 percent. " Guess I'll just try to work 11% harder! |

Mark Yeah I've set PBs before after a couple of beers the night before. But any more than 3, times start going downhill fast. |

Pro 5361 | Subject: RE: Say it ain't so... FWIW- I set a 3min PR in an 8 mi race yesterday, after having a drink the prior night. (I'm jazzed) anyhoo- I also saw this article today:

| 754 | Subject: RE: Say it ain't so... My study with n=1 subjects indicates that wine hinders performance, in a big way. If I have a single glass within a couple hours of a workout, I will be very weak the next day. Hard liquor has no discernible effect. Beer is recovery fuel. Nothing, even a balanced meal, helps my body recover from a hard workout like a stout. That stuff is magic. Of course, it is seldom that I have more than one drink at a time. |

I'm totally unhappy with this article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/09/02/is-booze-killing-your-workout.html obviously. for me personally I have no problems with drinking the night before or a few hours after a workout. I have come off some very social evenings the next morning and absolutely crushed my workouts setting either pacing PR's on the run or power PR's on the bike. I know a local swimmer who threw up in the parking lot of a swim meet after a long night, walked in and onto the deck, swam his race, and finished as a USA Swimming Masters national champion. |

| 467 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Say it ain't so... About 40 years ago, we sat around a campfire drinking beer till the wee hours. 50 mile Cat3 road race the next day at 9:00am. The first 25 or so miles were living he . . . I remember gradually feeling better and finally getting to the point where I thought, "if I could survive that, what he heck, go for it". Darn near won that race, jumped with about 800 yards to go, caught at the line by 3 guys, ended up with 4th. |
