I wrecked my arms in a cross teaing workout on Tuesday and I was eating advil like it was chocolate covered! I'm not afraid to take advil when I need it, but I only take it after.<br /><br />That being said, I tried this stuff called xija (a utah company I think) which is a bunch of anti-inflammatory stuff before a 1/2 Marathon last year. Also, acupuncture. Acupuncture 24 hrs before and xija 20 minutes before. <br /><br />But, I know nothing.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381650902353197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-78270758617270128332012-04-26T13:18:53.000-07:002012-04-26T13:18:53.000-07:00Ahhhh - i hope you feel better soon! and i LOVE th...Ahhhh - i hope you feel better soon! and i LOVE that song!!!!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073352095073103829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-70398481873676078642012-04-26T10:33:43.815-07:002012-04-26T10:33:43.815-07:00Only YOU could relate that song to running.Only YOU could relate that song to running.sNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890130451966500333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-78605074313214451772012-04-26T09:20:29.234-07:002012-04-26T09:20:29.234-07:00I can't believe it's taper time.

I am totally just running it for fun (no garmin) so we should run together and have fun. :)<br /><br />I have taken IB profin before a run before and never had a problem. I would just try it before your 22 miler and see how it goes.Rachelle Wardlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924064419764851273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-126357002505063482012-04-26T07:03:19.609-07:002012-04-26T07:03:19.609-07:00I usually take 2 Ibuprofen before a long run, it s...I usually take 2 Ibuprofen before a long run, it seems to help my knees keep from getting stiff. Plus, I don't think regular Ibuprofen isn't strong enough to mask real pain it just helps relieve minor discomforts.

For my last marathon, my only choice was to slow down when I trained but the problem was that it messed with my natural gait. I didn't want to slow down! It was just a mess. And you're right, tapering, what's that? It's such a duct taped training job that gets us there when we're trying to keep ourselves in one piece anyway! :)Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-49064031540857069132012-04-26T05:39:29.857-07:002012-04-26T05:39:29.857-07:00I hate that you are going through this too.

Teresa had me do a lot of my training on the elliptical to avoid any unnecessary pounding making things even worse.

I would rather hurt and know the hurt than mask it and run risking major injury.<br /><br />I know you have had a really frustrating training cycle, but fwiw, I think you have been really aggressive and positive about it.kaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623557348066905659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-23460111807962244142012-04-25T18:50:39.311-07:002012-04-25T18:50:39.311-07:00I personally wait until after.

But I read once that taking ibuprofen while running can damage your liver if you're not properly hydrated. Besides, I figure the pain is my body talking to me, if I muzzle it will I miss something big and end up being out of wack longer?<br /><br />That being said I have a few friends who do regularly and don't seem to have a problem.Amy @ Run Mom Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238120528704443654noreply@blogger.com
