Inflammation can make you miserable as well as stop you in your tracks.
There are different sources of inflammation. The question is how do you deal with it. Check out this list of suggestions...
As a running coach, the primary source of inflammation my clients experience yet have a difficult time understanding is that associated with overuse be in our daily movement, over pacing outside of suggested pacing or going long!
My recommendation for any runner out there is simple. If you can not rise and run without pain, you have a level of inflammation you need to address prior to lacing up. Even with the most conservative running schedule sometimes our daily activity added to that is too much for the body to process.
Inflammation pools in the system as we rest. So it is not uncommon to be on your feet all day and feel great only to go to bed and wake up stiff and out of sorts. Listen to your body. The other caution is relying on anti-inflammatory meds through out the day. Also trying to quick fix the problem other ways is just enabling the inflammation. DO NOT be an ENABLER!
In todays world we can not avoid inflammation. However, we can do our part to minimize with moderation of eating and working out. Most importantly hydrate! Hopefully this gives you something to think about and ponder as you rise and shine each day!
