boldwarrior:
I seen this in pics and the net, would you say It’s a good foam roll? How would you rate it compared to the regular round one?
Do you also have the Ball with Spikes? http://www.aokhealth.com/xq/ASP/CategoryID.160/qx/category.htm
The ball i have is made from Hard Plastic, and not foam - too hard to use the 1st few times, but after your muscles settle a bit, it works nice. I recon the Foam would be much better.
Definitely worth the $40 or for it (including postage from Aus).
Compared to a regular roller? Hmm well you know that first time you used a roller and went ouch that hurts (well I did :p) I would say this is about 1.5 X that and I use my regular roller 3 times pw.
No don’t have the ball with spikes.

Is the cold already gone?
Try this: load yourself with vitamins for one days. Use some glutamin if you have one. Spread vitamins and glutamin (even whey is a good source of glutamin) into almost every one of your 6 meals you have over the day (I assume you have). In the evening get yourself a pizza and eat it just before going to bed. Put two pyjamas on or a hot sweater over one and you should wake up feeling much better. Trust me, it works great for me.
I’m reading your journal constantly. Just keep it up.

Sorry for late reply. Not sure, as it wan’t my idea in the first place. My guessing would be bunch of calories, especially carbohydrates that are released over time – so a powerful fuel for the body over the night.

With pizza GI is not a problem really. It doesn’t have a low GI like oats for example, however it isn’t released fast either because of all other things on pizza (cheese…) The problem is the amount of carbs and the insulin response. It digests for hours.

Feel really good on the track, especially considering it was the first time from blocks for 7 months :eek: will be interesting to see how that translates to times in mid October when I start racing.

John, how has the storms and earthquake affected your area?

We’ve been really lucky. Felt the earthquake but no damage as we are 360k (225m) away. My mother lives in Christchurch and she and her house are fine.
The snow missed us, there was a light bit on the hills but nothing much compared to down South and in Central Otago, both about 2 1/2 away by car.
