Having the athlete lie down and ideally elevating the legs will apparently generally cure this without any rehydration.Alicia Hudelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920162593427542080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-5417066661341273492012-07-13T17:20:30.771+02:002012-07-13T17:20:30.771+02:00I haven't read Noakes' new book, but I'...I haven't read Noakes' new book, but I've been reading all his scientific publications since "Lore of Running."

I would LOVE to borrow his new book and now I've also just checked out his "running lore" or whatever it is called from the library so I can do a whole Noakes mini course. I will just briefly say that I have now had two races after which I went black in the shower and had to lie down until I had drunk enough again to get my senses back. My problem (at least personally) does not seem to relate to too much fluid. I do always wonder how much urine colour post-race is influenced by muscle breakdown. I think I need to read his exact words to comment. But there is no doubt there is a relation between fluid status and urine output (did I just seriously have to write that??)- granted other agents can irritate the bladder and make you pee more often.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-10138526328526200992012-07-13T05:19:08.953+02:002012-07-13T05:19:08.953+02:00Jill- phew!

Check out irunfar's summary of the book--I made a couple of comments there, but basically I think I might agree with Noakes' conclusions, although "might" is the key word. I think there are two potential flaws as far as his hydration conclusions: (a) his main conclusion is to drink to thirst, but does the prevalence of nausea (which can make a runner not feel thirsty) in long ultras mean that thirst isn't a reliable indicator? and (b) he concludes there is no relationship between hydration status and kidney function/urine output. I haven't gotten to this section of his book yet so I don't know all the details, but just straight away, personal experience makes me doubt that one. (see my comment on irunfar)<br /><br />As far as his conclusions about electrolytes, I haven't found any potential flaws yet and it's a very interesting analysis! <br /><br />I have a copy of the book if you want to borrow it...Alicia Hudelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920162593427542080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-75529973356871924942012-07-11T19:13:21.865+02:002012-07-11T19:13:21.865+02:00I laughed at the joke. :-)

The most interesting thing about the race to me was that Eve really pounded the first loop, completely opposite of what I expected. The first guys hit the half in 1:50, so it was smart of SR not to hang with them. It was great meeting your family - I'd forgotten how rambunctious 4 year-olds were.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-38354125345739684222012-07-10T17:06:01.706+02:002012-07-10T17:06:01.706+02:00Nice job!
