Running after pitching

A-rob10+ posts

Hey guys, I was reading some stuff in the coach's forum and they were talking about running and icing after pitching. I was wondering if you guys knew anything about the running afterwards, what it does, and how soon do you have to do it? and how much running? I have no problem doing the running because I love to run, I'm just trying to figure out how to do it and stuff because I've never heard of doing it but if it helps then I want to learn.

Thanks,

hey a-rob at my brothers school they have to do 2 foul poles for every ininning pitched and it is right after the game but it is just a quick jog not a run and here at my school they just like you to ice your arm with no running

When pitching or throwing long distance you build lactic acids in your elbow and shoulder...(not good stuff) so running will rush the blood through your arm and flush out the lactic acids...I was told to run 15-20 minutes nights after pitching and 5-10 on nights that im not pitching

Throw in another 30-40 minute run the day after pitching in addition to the ice/jog after you pitch.

With some late games (not ending until after 9PM on school nights), they are in a hurry to load you on the bus and get back to the home field. You may not get a chance to jog the night after pitching. It makes running the next day critical.

All my pitchers, no matter how many pitches they throw, runs 2 polls after they are done. As a team at the end of the game, we run sprints, do lunges and other various conditioning drills. I also have my guys on long toss programs as well as how to ice.

So running get lactic acid out of your arm. How does that work and how much does it improve recovery time.
