I have seemed to developed plantar fasciatis (sp?). How major can it become if I keep training and dont take time off?
Also will anti-inflammatory drugs, Aleve etc..., be a hinderence to my workouts? |
Well for the first part you will develop mental toughness but that would be it. You do have to be careful though, if your body gets too hot it melts. Seriously, melting muscles not cool. As for your condition get specialised help. Training through it is not recommended at all. Anti inflammatory drugs will help you work through it, however the pain means that something is broken, and working through it means you will make it more broken. Its what many collage athletes do their whole short career and wind up with life long injuries. So definatly get pro help with that.

I have heard of this myself and read the research however their measure of 'healthy' is dubious at best. Personally I feel the least you should have per night is five hours. The best way to do this is with an alarm clock
No magic tricks, make yourself tired to go to sleep at the right time, then use an alarm to get the desired number of winks. Over the course of a few weeks this will become your sleeping pattern. To start with caffiene can help with feelings of sleepiness during the day, also eating a healthy diet will reduce your sleep requirements anyway. Interestingly, people who do little during the day feel they need more sleep, whereas people who lead an active and healthy lifestyle often feel the need for much less sleep. Inactivity breeds inactivity. So get your alarm clock set, get off your ass and start eating well.
I am not endorsing the use of caffeine in anything, rather I am giving out all options. Caffeine is a bad, bad substance. But can be useful at times. Like if you're a truck driver.
