Improve Athletic Performance: Faster and More Complete Recuperation

June 9, 2010 – 2:07 pm | No Comment

Fast and complete recuperation are two of the most important elements of improving your athletic performance – especially if you run a hard training schedule. Faster recuperation means you don’t fall behind: you can fit more training sessions in, and you’re not out of commission for a week or two after a big event. More complete recuperation means your training sessions will be more productive: you’re body is stronger and more fully healed, ready to push harder. And if you can train harder and more often without suffering the negative consequences of over training, your performance will improve, along with your general well-being.

I’m in. 14 min Faster than I needed to Qualify for Boston in 2011.

Submitted by Bruce on November 17, 2009 – 12:41 amNo Comment

I ran a 3:46:52 marathon this past Sunday at the USMC marathon – about 14 min faster than I needed to qualify for Boston in 2011, so I’m in!!!

It’s also 14 minutes faster than I could run 25 years ago. I still find that part totally amazing.

Even more amazing to me is my recovery thanks to using PXE and Adrenal Reboot. I started to take the adrenal reboot the week prior to my race (I’ve been taking Protein Extreme Energy for about three months now).

Immediately after the race I was feeling pretty bad, but after a few hours I went out to eat with my family and then got in my car and drove back to NYC. The next day I worked a full day and was a little rough, but by Tuesday I was feeling great and today [Wednesday – 3 days after the marathon] I went for a bike ride and felt like I was completely recovered from the marathon, I had an amazing amount of energy. PXE and Adrenal Reboot are amazing!!! I’m 59 and was willing to give myself a full 2 weeks to recover form the marathon. Though I’m still going to take it easy, I feel like I’d be ready to go and tackle another race by this weekend.
