Legs were way sore yesterday and today. Decided to get on an elliptical to warm up before I tried to run any. So I did that for 55 minutes.

Then I did 10x1 min on/off 5:52 pace. Didn't feel to bad at all. I was surprised. Only did 10 because I ran out of time. Gotta get home and get kids off to school.

I need to get back into the habit of taking BCAA capsules on long run days or hard tempo/speed days. They prevent soreness and speed up recovery/repair. They work!

Superstar! What movie is that from? Ahh thats going to drive me crazy now.

What are these fancy pills you speak of?

Thank you Oreo and Dale! SUPER STAR! LOL! Isn't the movie called superstar? haha I swear it is!

Rachelle BCAA capsules. I will text you a picture. They also have powder you can add to your water to drink right post workout. They speed muscle and tissue repair and prevent soreness. They are amazing

Even though I hate the elliptical machine it sure seems to make my legs feel good after using it!

Super speedy. Nice work there Lily!

From DaleG on Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 17:21:33 from 66.87.64.166

Lily, where can we buy that stuff? I think that would really help me. Can it be found at GNC and is it expensive?

From Lily on Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 17:22:39 from 67.199.178.95

Yeah GNC or any supplement store Dale.

From DaleG on Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 17:26:14 from 152.216.11.5

Cool. What's the name of the product you use? I want to see if I can order some online.

From Lily on Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 17:33:09 from 67.199.178.95

I have 2 different brands. The capsules are Source Naturals (brand name). The other is a powder you add to your water. It Is called Modern BCAA with L-glutamine.

From DaleG on Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 17:35:05 from 152.216.11.5

Great, I'm looking at it now on the website. Thanks, Lily.

A year or two ago, I bought some Jack3d from GNC and it turns out there is a banned substance, DMAA (methylhexanamine), in the product. DMAA is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of prohibited substances, according to a Runnersworld article from yesterday.

I tried it one time before a long run I was going to do at night after my family went to bed. I took it about an hour before the 18 mile run and it felt like I had A LOT more energy than usual. I was all shaky and jittery. I finished the run and I still had a few hours before bed, which was great because I could unwind. Well, by the time I went to bed, it had been nearly seven hours since I took that product and I was STILL wired. I couldn't sleep at all that night and I had a massive headache. I never used it again. Scary stuff.
