Any other good questions? Thanks Oldskool. Do you have any questions about mechanics? or mental approach?

If Lactic acid is bad and running flushes it, shouldn't you always be running? There is always lactic acid in your body.

"The reason trained athletes can perform so hard and so long is because their intense training causes their muscles to adapt so they more readily and efficiently absorb lactic acid."

Lactic acid isn't a bad thing any more than water is bad thing. Maybe you should tell your athletes not to drink any water.

Wow! A quote from a link I cited yesterday, explaining all of this! Evidence, amazing!
