| Quote from Trent on 3/28/2008 at 3:43 PM: Yeah, but since you bathe in the icy Chicago River after running, you don't really need an ice bath per se.
Good point. Should have seen how green I was a couple of Saturdays ago. |

I do ice baths. It's good to find out I am hardcore, but then again. the swamp already knew.  I also do the protein/carb thing as a recovery drink/meal. I don't trust studies paid for by Accelerade.
Man, I gotta go do some errands. You guys are keeping me here. |

I feel like a real weenie.
I tried to have one the other day.
Ran the tub, got my ice cubes ready, had a cup of hot water to keep my company, hoodie on, Jack Daniels amazing book on running + training.
I hopped in and lasted about 10 seconds until I was overcome with pain in my feet and ankles.
I don't think I've said more curse words in the last year than I did in that minute.
From now on I don't take ice baths.
I am a weenie. |

ice only covers up the pain
imflamation = recovery... its the body's meathod to set the stage for healing... (chronic inflamation is diff of course)
ice and NSAIDs reduce pain but also recudes recovery
in conclusion
HTFU = faster recovery

But it is true that just a couple doses of ibuprofen or other NSAIDS at a time of dehydration or poor renal perfusion can blow out your kidneys.
Trent speaks the truth. A good friend of mine spent 2 days in the ICU w/ kidney failure from taking Ibuprofen during a long run. Thankfully this person has recovered...

I have found that IF I take an ice or cold bath after a long hard run, that a running a wash cloth under very warm water (not HOT), and wrap the boys in that as you get in lessens the shock to them. Yeah, they still get cold, but it is a gradual cooling.

I will not let it go to my head
I am glad your friend recovered!
Quote from cgerber on 3/28/2008 at 8:38 PM:There are actually studies that show decreased tendon healing while taking Ibuprofen.
And bone healing too...

Interesting thread, as it regards the use of ibuprofen. I'd always only heard the risks mentioned in context of heavy alcohol consumption.
Is there a way to submerge your legs in the ice without actually sitting in it? All I can dream up is a kitchen sized trashcan comes just above my knees  That covers all my pain-affected areas without frightening my inner turtle. |

The ankle pain is FAR worse than pain anywhere up higher.
And Willa, I don't even know where to begin.

If you happen to have access to an ice cold mountain stream, you can usually (very carefully) keep the giblets out of the water.  |
