I could not do 8 running/lifting workouts per week before. I couldn’t do 80 mile weeks before. I couldn’t even double on the same day before.

I felt incredibly less sore in between days before tapering. Do you think I’m making shite up?



can you 100% assure its not from placebo?

and in the long term it essentially makes your lifting sessions useless from a hypertrophic effect.

can i ask why are you doing so much? are you an ultra-marathoner?

I like a cold plunge after a good cardio workout and trip to the sauna. Its refreshing only because I'm a few degrees hotter than normal and if you do it regularly its really not that uncomfortable.

The gym keeps ours at 60 degrees but we go dip in the pool during the winter when it gets in the low 50's and upper 40's.

It does make me feel more awake and helps you not sweat profusely after showing and getting into work cloths. To me, the real benefit is the sauna and the cold plunge is the relief. I don't typically cold plunge after lifting weights.

It's not

We only did non-running exercises twice a week, and those were the second workouts of the day. I have no reason to ice after weight lifting.

It was just college running for cross country (8k -10k).

*Looks at my 30 mile weeks that I consider low mileage*

Me and the boys in the running thread are probably the only ones that need to do ice baths
