Muscle Atrophy Hampering Runners

By Chet Sandeksi


Runners thrive off a certain pride that comes from accomplishing certain feats. Sprinters remember well the fastest they have ever run a mile; they also remember their normal running speed.

Becoming a better runner can take time and you will want to take time investing yourself in the process of becoming a better runner, to ensure that this is what you want. While you are figuring out how to become a better runner, you may want to start running with a group.

First, when you are smoking you will find that this habit often slows your healing process. The healing process is often integral to ensuring that you can minimize the visibility of scars and it is important that you stop smoking when you want to get rid of your scars.

Although it is true that you have to tear down your muscles to rebuild them again, burning them to a crisp is not the best way to improve yourself physically. This becomes a huge problem for runners who take month long breaks.

Second, you should avoid drinking alcohol. When you drink alcohol you dehydrate your body and your skin which can inhibit your skins ability to reproduce and replace the skin around the area that you haves been scarred. Rather than drinking alcohol, try to keep your body hydrated by drinking enough water. When you drink water you will be hydrating your body and your skin to ensure that your skin is able to reproduce and help your scar diminish in color and texture.

Signing up for a few races can be a great way to train and add some variety to your runs. Being excited about a race that you are going to participate in can give you the motivation that you need to push through some of the tougher runs and to add some excitement to your routine.

While you are working on pushing through your training routine for a race, you may not want to forget the importance of taking a break. You can seriously injure yourself running and you want to make sure that your body is rested and prepared for each run that you take on.

When you find that you are worried about your scar, you should discuss this worry with your doctor. Follow what your doctor says and ensure that you are keeping in touch with your doctor about the progress that you and your scar are making.

If you enjoy running but take a break for a while, do not expect yourself to run at the same intensity as you did before. Realize that your muscles have undergone such a change, that they cannot handle the challenge that you are presenting to them.

Recover fully before you hit the pavement and make sure that you take care of your body while you run. This way, you can get the benefits of running and ensure that your body is as healthy as you can keep it throughout your life.
