@avantgame push thru pain (to an extent) but don't push thru illness. I don't think the runnings gods want to make you ill/weak.

@leilamelendez the point is I come down with a bad cold 24 hours later... not running through pain or illness, I feel great during the run!

@avantgame immune system?! I just thought it was wreaking havoc on my shins, knees, and hips. I quit! -
@scottdot that's too bad! I've been running for 21 years and fortunately none of that yet.

@avantgame I have never gotten sick after 4 marathons & 7 half marathons. I'm sure the travel doesn't help. Post race nutrition is huge -
@dine_and_dash you are definitely superhuman!! although I read about your hip struggles recently. we should chat, I dealt with that once

@avantgame Depends on what you're trying to optimize. To put it another way, what game are you playing & how do you compute the score? ;-)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame I think best runs are the ones where you say I don't care about time, just here to finish and have fun, 21k not as hard that wayThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame I feel like running should come with a "power up" option, gamer style. Just revel in the awesome accomplishment, & get Vitamin C!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame Honestly, that's the reason I only run half-marathons. I feel amazing after them, and it doesn't wear off/down into being trashed -
@avantgame So maybe it's a matter of finding a sweet spot of how far you can run and not have that effect. Do THAT distance more often. -
@avantgame When I do run further, the same thing happens to me. My body feels broken down, I end up feeling sick, I avoid running for weeks
