Jäger Schnitzel Münzmallorca and-tan.

Barbecue chicken brown arms and legs, torso blendendweißer: Hardly spoils summer sun with the first warm rays of the mutated race fan to chipmunks. Stefan Achilles reader analyzes the latest trends complexion - from Münzmallorca screen until brown.

 


Fortunately, I am of her skin to those who quickly get color. Since the running mostly in the face numerous existing welding obviously like little drops of burning glass effect, transforms particular color of my face anyway-never-quite-faded quickly to a soft beige. The arms show in the weather quickly a clear tint on summer.

Eincremen not forget: Definitely Malle tan-Type S


The legs are not only lagging in the race, but also in the browning speed slightly behind, but take the time to a darker complexion. Of course, only in the area between the bottom edge run pant cuffs and socks. Buttocks, upper torso and feet are bright because they are covered while running. When Entblättern leads then depending on the degree of browning funny sights. So as if you had a white T-shirt from the grill chicken colored arms hang out, which in turn by a white stripes are adorned - where running the Pulse watch her job after it.

Interesting is also the contrast between skin-colored feet and brown calf: imaginary tennis socks without stripes. Before the domestic level this is all harmless. But if I am on the first outdoor swimming pool or beach visit think I already see the people amused grin and hear children's voices: "Look, Mummy, because the man looks like a black and white cookie."

Since it is still a few other skin types, there, here is a small tan customer. Obviously highly unscientific and purely subjective zusammengestellt.


Runner tan: Tanned are usually the face, forearms and lower leg. The places where the sport is, to stay light-skinned. Runner tan occurs mainly in the sunny season, and leaves behind two-toned body, naked to the zebra stripes or chess remember. A similar pattern also adorns like cyclists and looks the same from stupid.

Builders tan: Similar to brown runners. However, because of the safety shoes of pale cheese portion on foot higher. For promoters of rib-undervests are also lots shoulder brown. Not to mention the area above the back when bending over slip waistband. Also known as a so-called builders decollete, tanned not less than meat unappetizing color. The builders also occurs mainly brown in times of increased exposure to natural sun.


Münzmallorca-tan: Regular, intense chocolate complexion, which extends over the entire body and the whole year, mainly to women and be admired. If caused by regular solarium visit. The year-round hunter schnitzel color indicates increased aging of the skin out, so that the electron-beach disciples often already before entering the retirement age on the neck and décolleté so wrinkled look like a crocodile leather handbag. Only brown.


English tan: Virtually non-existent. The English tourists regengewohnte discolored skin is usually red, not brown, before returning abpellt.


Malle-tan (Type K): Also known as "brown lump tourists." Often paired with English emerging as spotless tan. There are two sub-species, whose demarcation is not always easy. Malle tan-type K differs from the runner tan mainly by brown and white striped legs, caused by sandals and Riemchenschuhe. When females are often still bright stripes in the chest and shoulder-neck area added by the shirt-makers and swimsuits caused. It is often observed in cultural site visitors, Cafehaussitzern, Stadtbummlern and people who are out of shame or taking half naked on the beach do not want to show.

Finally, it is so far: Germany's runners have the perfect excuse for the tedious pace of training to tails. You must first of Achilles-the new book. Germany's funniest amateur runners has its columns to a new piece of forest and meadow run literature zusammengetackert: "Learn to walk without suffering" is available now in a good assortment of ramps and remains in blogs shop. The question "Can you actually run without having to suffer?" Achim normally answered philosophically: "You can, but it is not fun anymore." The 224 pages in the pocketbook is strong Heyne-Verlag and costs 7,95 Euro.


Malle-tan (Type S): The tan-Malle Type S has fewer white spots and is often caused by long hours at the beach-loungers, regular turning of the body, profuse sweating without exercise and occasional wetting of the body with water and deliberately creates hard fought to leave after the friends, colleagues and relatives to impress. They replaced while on leave at the Münzmallorca some tourist-brown and often disappears within a few weeks, if not Nachrösten at the solarium or on Balkonien obtained. With frequent repetition of similar Jägerschnitzel leather-factor as the Münzmallorquinerinnen.

Finally, I wish to mention another type, whose name is in the choice word for the youth at least 2008 to the second place has done: tan screen. It refers to the milky white pallor of a computer freaks, the sun is often only through webcams looks. The degree of browning is - as the hunter schnitzel leather factor - close to zero. Grandma always said earlier: "The looks like ash, milk and spit." If the PC user duration but longer times in daylight in front of the door dares, he will often tan from the English by surprise.

99 Luftballons in the womb.

Achim Achilles' body gutgeölten like a precision machine. Believe it. Mona wife would be happy to medically confirmed. In the waiting room is our miracle runner still good things in which he makes the ergometer Armstrong - then the stomach and Darmblogsung on the program.

 


The hour in the waiting room with distributed I desert my wife curses. Why did I have to check by Mona hunt approved? I am a runner, so fit. The excellent

Sister Hildegard led me to the first station, a cardiologist with a slender nose tip eyeglasses and duration skepticism in view. "Please Make Clear," he commands it. I would prefer the shirt like a lasso over the head swing in order to humiliate Doc. But Hildegard is just outside. So spare me the number for Dreamboy later. The nose glasses slaps me a pound Gleitcreme on the ribs and goes with me on his depth sounder around. "Do you sport?" Outrageous question. You can see that surely. "I walk", I reply, and wait in vain for a praise. On the screen, my heart beating. Through deep breaths, I try to reduce the pulse frequency. Nose glasses remain unimpressed. "Slightly magnified," he says finally. Yes, and? "It looks quite good", are wringing the male wear out. "Could I have that in writing?" I joke. Nose glasses replied: "Look a bit more on your liver." I nod silently and think Papperlapapp - only alcohol-free is also not a solution.

With fingers pointed flanscht Sister Hildegard a dozen measurements Eumel on my upper body. I prefer the one and my stomach, a soft erotic crackle can be heard. After a quarter Gestrampel I'm ready. "Since we had already poor in your old age," says the doctor. Blödmann. That can surely with much more admiration noted.

The eye is running with.

Widely taboo topic: There are runners who also run so fast because they are frighteningly little weight to lug around. Achim Achilles and his team know about this phenomenon and call it by name: anorexia.

 

Achilles Hi team,
I (46, 1.70 m, 67 kg) have the feeling that I am always on
Trainingspuls highly recommended. I train like so 110 to 120 strokes. For more do I start to japs and will krebsrot in the face. Ten years ago, I've trained at 140 times, but this has now been completely excluded. Is also normal that the declines with age. I believe that
my pulse is generally quite low, and that it is in order, at such low levels to train. Or am I wrong? What the experts say about this?
Regards, Johanna

Healthy Nutrition: Important, but it may be time a calorie to be

Dear Johanna,
who recommends you because too high a Trainingspuls and on what basis? Is there baseline data? If you are at 110 to 120 beats the feeling then you encumber sufficient, and there comes a certain amount of effort, then that's okay. Of course you can also practice in higher Pulsbereichen and thus improve your performance. That's but practiced. Short, fast runs at a higher Pulsbereich break is followed by a helpful agent. Trau dich the quiet times! A red head is still no problem. Good luck, your clipboard-Karrass

Dear Johanna,
I'm not that type of physician training and also no longer with Pulsmessgurt. "Too much information," says the Anglo-Saxon. If you but a few years ago in entirely different pulse unterwegs warst regions than it is today, then you should perhaps look at the cardiologists look.

Achilles Hi team,
I wonder about the statuses of some poor runner. I am 1.75 meters, weigh 80 kilos and walk anyway. Recently I was in my race shop, where I am the owner (Marathon best time 2:30 hours) pointed out, but how quickly the customer ahead of me already after one year running on it (ten hours in 39 minutes). As I watched the lady from the corner of their eyes looked, I would have her almost one of the gifts from energy bars, as bait at the box office are located. A height of approximately 1.55 meters with a maximum of 45, probably 42 kilos. Yes, because I could also run like a gazelle. But who is so thin, not just eat with joy (at least not the things that delight).
Nevertheless, further continuously, Nikolai

Dear Nikolai,
Best beautiful and good, but runs with the eye. Thus we have two. Also you mentioned an important keyword:
Running and anorexia, which is a widely taboo, though visibly existing problem, not just for women.
Besten Gruß, Achim

Hi Achim,
Advisers in all situations. Immediately is the marathon. Unfortunately I have versemmelt, vitally important to the wedding to think. The absolute prohibition, I was able to circumvent by my Rosy verspracht, the wedding dress to wear. Unfortunately, I forgot: Before the age of 19 I weighed 78 pounds, lost my weight but almost continuously increased annually by just under one kilo. The twine is not fit. My hope was always the suit in the clothing collection landed, has not been confirmed. My Rosy came with glittering eyes at me and said: "This is it, a lot of fun." With grace right before I come no further, to reduce weight significantly, is also rather pointless. Achim Well, good advice is expensive. Can you assist me?
Best Regards, Kuddel

Dear Kuddel,
there are very favorable change cutters from the Southeast European culture, for little money, even if elastic and breathable wedges into any comedy sew. If you look hard, there is windschlüpfrig, and behind you throws the thing away so eh. A few photos would be nice, like 35 or kilometers from the Red Cross tent. We're looking forward. Otherwise, of course, always: Ehefrieden be overstated.

Dear Achim,
to the question of the prevention of bubbles spontaneously occurs to me the following tip from military service times: Thin, tight, possibly for several days presented wear socks (they are nice to the foot welded in), about a second pair of socks coarser. Then rub the sock together, not on foot, so that the risk that bubbles are substantially reduced. This has even at 30-kilometer marches helped performance. Gruß, Thomas

Dear Thomas,
as an old friend of 30-kilometer marches performance, I like these socks technique the next time out. Will this year but probably nothing more.

Training in the shower.

Many runners go in summer for triathlons. Following the motto: Who is not running faster, into the water just rises up and wheel-Achim Achilles reader Knut cartilage is such a case - he even used highly questionable aesthetic equipment.

 


The summer is approaching, the temperatures are rising - is reason enough to swim in warm clothes to slip. In any event, if you are as ambitious runners sporting variety studied, the first time for a triathlon training and open water swimming is concentrated on. Because, first of many triathlons will not pool, but outside (lake, sea, lake and pond) geschwommen. And secondly, there is also in the wet summer pretty fresh. Without a proper swimming Pelleport is because even nix.

DPA
Triathlon Training: Even in midsummer sometimes fresh


Newcomers are familiar with the black Pelleport only surfer films or documentaries about deep sea divers in the Arctic. And now will you do such a thing publicly take a walk, in broad daylight, without a surfboard, and without air bottle? But: It works, as from my own experience I can report. Before you jump into the water was the purchase of racehorses Pelle.

Since I was extremely embarrassed, me swimming in the only business of my home town of trial by various neoprene sleeves to torture, I moved my purchase on the Internet. After extensive comparisons and the intensive study of several forums, neoprene, I finally purchased a "Shorty" - which means a Neo with short arms and short legs. He arrived on time by mail, until the first triathlon remained a week.

Even more embarrassing than fitting in my business was, however, the test swim in the new sports outfit. The summer had now reached its zenith, and the temperatures were already in the late morning, at almost 30 degrees in the shade. Given this outlook could weather and I wanted the best will not be in the outdoor neopreniert lawn pool progressing to the swimmers and there in the field of view slightly bikini-clad beauties masked my laps.

Unfortunately, the only beach on the lake this summer, only closed for renovations. There, at least at night I would have a trial swim. So I did nothing other than me at home in the Pelleport to squeeze into the shower to get off and running hot water bath with the first Kraul exercises to begin. The fact that I have several Duschbadflaschen, the soap dish and, finally, the wall mount for the showerhead from the anchor pulled, it was barely bearable. Much worse was the sight of my wife Holden, her husband in the whole house was looking wild and rowing in the rubber suit in the shower took place. It took me many, many explanatory words, in order to restore domestic peace.

Then approaching the day of the competition. I felt at that time, despite my lack of bicycle equipment magnificently. Motto: Better in the badly dressed seated wetsuit than almost naked in the embarrassing swimsuit. Among several hundred other triathlon enthusiasts, I stood in the middle of the Ruhr area in my neo-Pelleport at the launch site next to the Dortmund-Ems Canal. The excitement grew, my gaze wandered through the Neo-Scharnstein.

Establishing long-Models in Model-dressed athletes with a view siegessicherem spontaneously gave me the impression that I am in my footling Short-short pants will never be part of this elitist sport would include upper. Fortunately stood beside me a man named peers such as Klaus. He had not only the same model as me. He is also on the network until anden, and it was for him his first triathlon. We would quickly agree jointly to last and so the burden of the other approaches.

What I have in the sample-standing under the shower had not noticed: The suit, in step too closely cut, pinched me in the swim between his legs. Well, that crawl in the face is mostly under water. Because Wetsuits expensive and time the races are manageable, I have in my step-limitation Neo five races and at least three times as many sample completes swim. But eventually I decided to finally cash in a sensible long-Neo to invest.

In the shop (yes, I am now familiar with my penchant for wet even to the public) fit the thing as a one. And neoprene body were a unit, no tweaks, or scrubs threw wrinkles. And the water situation is designed with the whole-Neo sensationally good: It took only half as much energy to swim as in a swimsuit.

However, I quickly noticed that the entrance into the hull at the now renovated lake was much more difficult than in store. Will read: Without outside help, and I came in not only the thing (unless I wanted to swim with an open zipper, and after going under ten meters). Therefore, I have accustomed myself, only for very good, so hot summer weather in my wet suit to slip. Since then bathers always there, giving me back the zipper can be pulled shut.

However, on cloudy days or even drizzle I completely renounce neo-up training. It is simply too silly to me, 60 minutes in the drizzle with half-lowered Pelleport herumzustehen and scattered on a bad-swimmers to wait for me when tightening helps. For a suitable Neo, in the locker hineinschlüpfen I may be missing me (yet) the prize money. Therefore I rank in competitions too often in "also swam" ...

So hot as a volcano.

Achim Achilles is hard. Wife Mona is even harder. And therefore, our miracle runner no choice: He must see the doctor for screening. A Pülverchen should make him fit. The effect is, however powerful. Achim is eruptive.

 


The German wife is indeed in a permanent conflict of interest: You want to make a fit, presentable guy, but one day close to his life. In this respect I hold times as love is proof to me that Mona has been totally baseless to the doctor wants to hunt, to a comprehensive investigation. "I even go to the screening," says the wife. "Must it be?" Replied the man schwimmgestählte "No more excuses," says Mona, "you go."

What a nonsense. Kern runners are healthy, if you gesplisster Achillesehne, low load and the asthma Hüftknarzen times aside. But the heart, circulatory system, lungs are tiptop. What we scurry every day by the Volkspark? It was precisely in order not to doctor it. As already sitting in the Walker. Too late. My substantive objections are again not accepted.

Mona holds the listener in one way and my calendar on the other hand. "Yes, of course, with stomach and Darmblogsung," I hear my wife say. It revolves around my hectic because they do not want to watch aside. Am I the screening Susan Stahnke icon? My gut is tiptop, especially after a magnesium infusion. And the stomach erst The constant running through Geruckel has almost miraculous effect on the entire digestive tract. The runs like a diesel.

Of course, prevention is totally important. But why me? Each Herumgefummel coats of white lead to any confusion, especially mentally. It also wants the hospital not be stopped, let alone in times of health reform.

Thirst is a good indicator.

If the mileage on the dry spell are: When should you drink while running? Previously one would have answered, never. Achim Achilles and his team see it differently, but find that it is anything but does not matter what liquid it takes to himself.

 

Hi Achim,

the guys in the word - what do you need more motivation? Go out and start with a few loose-testing, not so long, so that you are at the end is still pretty good. Your body will remember how nice it was last autumn, and you will quickly come back in full swing. Three to four permanent streams in the week you should run through. Fang with 45 minutes and increase up to an hour. After two weeks should be familiar and no longer feel so exhausting, so that you pace and distance can vary slightly: a long, very quiet endurance of up to 90 or 100 minutes, a shorter, fleet up to 50 minutes, and a loose drive game , that is a playful tempo change. That should be enough, especially when such a run, as your plans it, lots of fun and euphoria added to the lack of training kilometers offset. I am sure you will run like a man

Hello Mr. Karraß,
I have a question that has to get me to burn, because only three days until the race to stay. I would like on Sunday run a better time than last year at my first participation in a contest; time was 2:13 hours. My problem: I think I overtrained something if I do in my tendons and muscles purely hear. Now my question: How should I approach the next three days in order to maintain muscle tone, but a further Muskelübermüdung to avoid? My training: three times a week, 11 kilometers in the vineyard, the last two Saturdays each 22 kilometers. Your Council would help me a lot, even if he can only generally gehaltensein.
Alice (1.66 meters; 55 kilos)

Dear Alice,
Training your way, I would:

Thursday: 3 kilometers very loosely run, with a break elongation and then 15 minutes faster than normal, relaxed pace of running. At best a small tick faster than the desired half-marathon pace.

Friday: Six to eight kilometers, completely relaxed, only in the air, no speed.

Saturday: nothing!

But most importantly: Do not worry, and rejoice on the run. Start extremely loose and you increase after three to four kilometers inside slowly.

Good luck and tell us!
Many greetings, Jens Karraß

No reason to go on the floor.

How to find the right measure at the favorite sport? Interval training can be an ideal form of training, my Achilles Achim and his team. Assuming that you have found out what the workload is correct.

 

Hello experts,
I (48, body mass index 20) run for quite some time, since three years, however, something more intense, usually three to four times a week, eight to eleven kilometers, at a pace of usually 10 hours kilometers. My problem: Whether I am the evening or morning walk, one to two hours afterwards, I will really cold, I freeze. My end: After walking ten minutes I sweat from hot showers, cold, very briefly, then I usually eat within the next hour the upcoming normal meal with my family, such as breakfast or dinner (if I am walking, I always eat an apple previously). I had my winter drink of water on warm fruit converted - no effect. Friererei Can I prevent this?
Thank you, Beata

Interval Training: Hard, but in the correct dosage is ideal

Hi Beata,
there are so remotely seen no reason why you cold. That you for running up too much energy, so that later, this could not be the reason, because you are running normally. Nevertheless, I would advise you, to ensure sufficient energy intake before and after running in mind - eat and drink enough and balanced. And prevent the body immediately after the race auskühlt, prefer dry and warm things up when you do not immediately come under the shower. And be honest with yourself, whether the intense running every time a border corridor is where you have to be very strenuous test. Course not always intense pace, but also from time to time in the wellness area.

In both cases, the regulating body or something to try to compensate. One possibility would be shorter but more intensive training sessions to insert, for example zehnx500 meter correctly afloat. Our

Hi Achim,
I (female, 53) run since my 32nd Year of life occasionally. Since last autumn, I have on a training course for beginners at the college participated. Last week ended the course with an endurance test over 45 minutes. Yesterday, we were run by our coaches to his group in the association invited. Here we have a Tartanbahn trained. After the warming was continued with intervals. Only 200 meters at the speed of 10 kilometers per hour, then jog 400 meters. The speed line was always about 200 meters increases. Up to 1200 meters, I mitgehalten, and then I get the whole thing with 400 meter jog ended. My question: Should we create the loose? Or should I in the Walker camp go? I'm still quite done.
Many greetings, Inni

Dear Inni,
Congratulations to the first 45-minute endurance test, which is great. The interval training sounds very challenging. On the one hand means interval training is always a higher rate, so you must practice. 200 meters at the beginning are a good distance, 1200 meters and more is very hard to have you even noticed. But one reason, now at the floor to go, it's not. If you want to do interval running, walk first five to eight times 200 meters fast enough with breaks. If you have the well-mastered, and you feel safe, increases the length. Do not rush, but find out what a good pace, which urges you pleasantly. Are you a few times, then you are also a bit exhausted, but you quickly recover.
With kind regards, Your Clipboard Karrass

Dear Inni,
I would say that half of all the runners around the world at 1200 meters, tempo training at a curse, break or walking. To that extent you already belong to the better half of that.

Achim's greatest success.

Can it even with Internet acquaintances principal gains give? Apparently so. First was Achim Achilles Although skeptical, but then convinced his online group of troops in the relay team in Berlin - and helped him to his greatest success. A sublime feeling.

 


Internet friends are like lottery tickets: All the main promise of profit, but most are just riveting. Monas girlfriend Gabi, for example, hunt for two years on the network by their princes. Found it the wretched specimens of the genus man "The all wanted to determine just sex, right?" Mona mutmaßte worried. "Not even the" admitted Gabi. Now baggert them again in the best areas of Berlin.

"You run the team relay, because you need competition," commanded clipboard-Karraß, the coach with the world's best
Training plans. I hesitated. Competitions, I needed did not, certainly not before witnesses who might mitstoppten hundredths of seconds. Bad mood, I can also arrange for tempo runs. "And with whom?" I asked the coach of the pain. "I am looking for you people on the Internet", suggested the clipboard before. Au weia. I thought of Gabi. What if women reported fast? Or thick wrinkled men in age group M75, which are still faster than me? "I'm not in shape," I said. "Precisely," said the coach. As an experienced psychosomatics I felt spontaneous leg cramps.

At a glance from her skylight would the chancellor last week, immediately called the Bundeswehr.
What "Team relay" calls it, is a Hun camp. Over 20,000 uncultured camped directly in front of the power center, rose blithely out of the office in its suit runners laundry, grills and half cows pullerten in the bushes. Each squadron had a picnic package with semi Trollinger, except an ax in the skull is the surest path to sustained headache. Clipboard Karraß as a routine Ostler permanent campers had to force a fine piece of lawn filled. Only missing hunter fence and garden gnomes.

The Internet already waited candidates: Lars, Peter, Reiner, Diana, a soft, silent Persönchen and the opposite of that, namely Achilles. Stealthy glances at the calf. Naja. "Target time under two hours?", I gave careful than parole, which 24 minutes per runner meant for five kilometers. "Logically," grinned the boys.
Diana swallowed. I toiled me an angst-free look. At five minutes per kilometer was my anaerobic threshold, insurmountable as the Berlin Wall ever was.


ACHILLES-NEW BOOK


Finally, it is so far: Germany's runners have the perfect excuse for the tedious pace of training to tails. You must first of Achilles-the new book. Germany's funniest amateur runners has its columns to a new piece of forest and meadow run literature zusammengetackert: "Learn to walk without suffering" is available now in a good assortment of ramps and remains in blogs shop. The question "Can you actually run without having to suffer?" Achim normally answered philosophically: "You can, but it is not fun anymore." The 224 pages in the pocketbook is strong Heyne-Verlag and costs 7,95 Euro.

As it is for a random one season, none of us had the slightest idea about the process. Error one: not a baton. Give an air pump in the saddle bag. Error two: no identification. The competition was with flags, balloons, paddles arrived to sign in 1300 under the baton roaring frenzy ever to find. Our sign was that we only had none. The good news: no individual timing, only the first and last had a chip to leg flanges. Prima, it can be their own good time expected.

My internet lots proved to be the main profit. After nearly an hour and a half I got the air pump. Around me a lot of sports lovers, on their third man waited. So we had a lap lead. The first runner in my useless life, I practically ran into the top. A sublime feeling.

The tactics in the team relay is easy. On the first 500 meters, where many viewers are available, and full-view fighters. After the first curve, if it is lonely, immediate collapse, then the cautious regeneration zigzag through the Tiergarten. Nevertheless, enough Überholmaterial. Fascinating that some sports comrades are even slower. Thank you all. The idiot who missed the curves and simply run into the underbrush, just not on their error alert. Running is also a sports intelligence. And on the last 500 meters, again full bottle, because millions of people zugucken again. 1 hour, 47 minutes, the clock shows something in the target.

The calculation starts: The first two took 20 minutes each. Diana admits generous 24, Peter 22nd Stay for me 21st Sensational. Just adopted, the others each have a half a minute geschwindelt what humanity is completely understandable, then I would be at 19th At the end, we are 146th of almost 3600 seasons, so in the top five percent, despite the woman, age and obesity. My greatest success of all time. Now I am looking for my partner only online.

Metal makes tired hips perk.

Sports with an artificial hip joint? Theory and practice contradict each other on this issue, my Achilles Achim and his team. But even with a prosthesis should not be high-speed driving, the comparison with a car is placed near.

 

Hello Achim, and experts
was previously running, along with handball, my favorite sport. For some years (I am now 43 years old), I have to weight less and driving sports. In principle, I wanted to begin again to run a half marathon as a goal should be. In a study at a specialist because of back and shoulder pain, the x-ray, however, a strong pelvic wear shown. My doctor thought it made look "like an expired tires."

DDP
Sporty Seniors: "Movement is doing well"


In ten years I would have with an artificial basin expected. He forbade me run any activity. A back specialist said, however, when my joints by Nordic walking would prepare, I could still run. I am now very confused and would like to know whether a limited running (twice a week in the woods in weight loss) is possible without having an artificial basin to risk?
Roland

Hello Roland,
Movement is good. So that may sound trite, it is correct that too. Any good doctor will tell you to confirm. Rein yourself emotionally, I would always prefer a doctor who told me, under certain conditions, the release granted to sports. Sure, with plenty of pounds on the ribs is the greater risk of injury - but that you have even been recognized and want to do what. In a gentle pace on joints and the supporting apparatus of athletic burden brought, is clever and you certainly needed. If you are also a regular medical check-up absolvierst, you should rest assured. I see thee well twice a week running through the forest.
Have fun, your clipboard-Karraß

Dear Roland,
if your doctor gives the green light, print you a
Training and go through the forest wheeze.
Gruß, Achim

Dear Roland,
I suppose that your hip joints show wear-related phenomena, is not it? Without the X-rays to see the recommendation is to run hard to give training. There are also other sports that keep you fit and help you to lose weight. Bicycling, for example, is also good for your joints cartilage. A Sports ban in principle, of course nonsense. I would with the X-rays under the arm clamp and a second opinion with an orthopedic and sports medicine expert intermediaries.
All the best, Dirk

RUNNING COACH KARRASS


About 10,000 meters was Jens Karraß once German champion, best 27:53 minutes. Today, the 38 - year old with his company jk running running and fitness coaching. Among other things, runs the Federal Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries regularly with him.


Dear Dr. Pajonk,
I run for 50 years. At that time it was not yet invented jogging and sometimes lonely runners were publicly derided. Now I will be 75 years old and have in the past eight years running fairly intensively and regularly operated, because I so that the endurance and stamina and was able to get to what I high alpine hiking and climbing so desperately needed. (Who is already happy with an older, perhaps unknown people in the rope?)

Three months ago I had my training (annually about 1200 miles and running 4500 kilometers ergometer) cancel. Coxarthrose said the doctor, and I must accept, even if the conversion is bad. I want you neither a doctor nor a cure please. I have only one question: Are there people with an artificial hip joint can run again? For a short, clear answer, I would be grateful.

Dear Christopher,
quite so simple is the answer then do not. The theory: The orthopedist I advise running loads, so I do jogging loads from. Walking, hiking and similar sports should, however, fully possible.

With a new hip joint is a metal in combination with a plastic or ceramic. This material may not like our own body adapt to stresses. That means that these materials wear out. Would you constantly with his car in second gear high-speed driving, the engine was broken rather than with gentle driving. The case is similar with art joints.

The Practice: Of course I have patients who are with your new hip joint almost every sport that you can imagine. Football, tennis, alpine skiing and many more. There are patients who only need to consider more to say on which side they have been operated on. When the course is good in any case hikes of any kind well.
All the best, Dirk

Hello Doctor,
I've been around six months of problems with the biceps tendon of the left shoulder. I was therefore already in orthopedic treatment and had injections, physiotherapy and get Reizstrom therapy. Thus, the complaints decreased. I do strength training regularly since then, including pain-free functioning. Once again, however, I swim, or cross country running, the pain again. The origin of the violation is loud Orthopädin is that I have a strain in the whole apparatus had left shoulder. This has resulted in water and the blood was deposited in the shoulder, which the biceps tendon in their movement hampered and leads to pain. I am writing to you because I am in daily life and the strength'm pain free, but can not swim. Can you give me any advice?
Thanks, Werner

Symphony of endorphins.

He counts himself not to Topläufern, it is Achilles' fan Mirco very ambitious. Sometimes he is so good at it, that he is wondering about himself. As a reward, there is then a nap with the kids.

 


Saturday morning, the world is sleeping the sleep of reason. I wake up and know: Just Getting Started! Ten kilometers endurance are now loose on the program. Crap, the neck hurts a little! No matter! From the fresh air. I feel like Bruce Wayne, when he created Batman costume. Still a few minor details, then sit back Pelleport sausage perfectly. Music and stopwatch, it goes from the post office!

The miles fly past me, if you where at a snail's pace of flying can talk. Five kilometers, I look at the clock and in fact: under 35 minutes. The right direction so slowly but surely.

With stolzgeschwellter breasts, I prefer to the first
Schleicher floor over. They are just under their blankets cuddle hervorgekrochen, but already on the phone. Short sight control, the time is still okay. Today, I want the 60-minute mark closer.

Approximately 250 meters ahead of me so I can marvel at a crazy runners like me. Now I have a hare. After about one kilometers, the coward, but a hook and disappears on the power Enz. nothing but high spirits colleague asked me on silent soles yet again.

Even two and a half miles to your destination and the last two of them is only the hill. The cold sweat on my body hero signaled me: "You're slow then at the limit, wa." Somehow the message it wants but not to create awareness. Deep breath and high up the hill! The new PB (personal best) is already tangible.

Something is still strange. In fact, I gasp at the gum the last hundred meters altitude, but with every step I feel better. Ha,
Endorphins, it gives it does!

I'm DarkWing Duck, the shadows of the night durchflattert! Yoda, the green Wicht, but has no idea because of the power flow, and so! I am so full of energy that I could burst! With the last conviction, I can force myself to just talk, the little boy on his scooter-up of same is not to kick, even though he informed me of his pesthauch-like exhaust plume once the necessary bitter breath away at the mountains.

The brief phase of aggression is due to exhaustion and lack of oxygen condition, but soon over. When the concentration of oxygen in my lungs again reached acceptable levels, clears the fog a little bit again. Hammering music from MP3 player, the patsch the noise of my steps, and the wheezing of my lungs to a mix hypnotic symphony of endorphins.

With a slight tunnel vision I reach the last flat section before the final target increase. Breathing, eye control, PB, I'm the same here! 75 minutes, done! Best all around two minutes improved. "And do not forget, at various traffic lights, you have to once again have two minutes fritter! The 60 crack you soon," whispered to me in an inner voice to Fieberwahn.

As in a trance Dehne I am still a little, and rings for air. Suddenly even the reporting of two and a half kilometers in consciousness: "age, you're done, you throw away." So, off to the local heat.

Angel I Just floating on the doorstep and reports proudly finished my day's work. Consent and good will receive me. But now out of the sausage skin, just the physical shell with the aid of water is restored and the fluid balance again.

The fatigue state is increasingly difficult to deny the endorphins have their feast celebrating the end too. Fortunately, our little after lunch always tired quickly and may the weekend afternoon with Dad hold. Two and a half hours later we both wake up again and are quietschfidel.

With a bit of distance and relaxation, I prefer balance. Conclusion of this "loose", operation: PB! There's more, the 60-minute mark to break, is not so unrealistic. Joe Cocker, Konstantin Wecker and Martin Semmelrogge would rush me to this condition certainly envy. And all this without skull hum after waking up.

Angst vorm Eisbein.

Why a grown man to leave the warm bed to the middle of the night into the wilds of Saxony-Anhalt to drive? Some, through icy lakes to swim and afraid to get wolves? That's why! No wonder that Achim Achilles mercilessly fails

 


The rain drums on the windshield. Cold. Solo Solo. The familiar sleeping Schmatzen his wife he still in the ear. Why did he leave the warm bed? Why, he contributed to the morning shortly after five the car through the deserted streets of Berlin to the wilds of Saxony-Anhalt? Was there any sense? No. But a sports man must do what a sports man must do.

He opened the bottle "Vitasprint" that his wife still had zugesteckt. No idea if this stuff helped. But "Vitasprint" sounds much better than "Prostagut" or "Granufink". In thought he drove a thousand times the distance from: 1.5 kilometers swim in an icy pond. Then 40 kilometers cycling through the loneliest East. With luck, one could sometimes see the locals. Finally, 10 kilometers run. He feared the wolves. Other hand: Pacemaker Everyone is welcome.

The basket legs.

After injury or disease to the athlete to return life is a lengthy affair and it requires much patience. Achim Achilles and his team advise to stay calm - or just to change the sport.

 

Hello Doc,
a deep vein thrombosis, by the middle of my lower leg to just below the knee goes, my life upside joggers. The cause is probably over my chemotherapy. The thrombosis is treated with a Marcumarersatz, which I for the next twelve months is allowed, plus of course a nice trump card knees for probably two years. The words of my doctor sounds pretty hard - he is of the opinion that I could targeted the marathon in November and should depreciate greater burdens, also because of the fluid loss. I wonder when I was about to start with light training and when I can intensify it. I appear to twelve months, in which I limited to 30 minutes a day with a 130er pulse can run, as the sheer horror.
Danke schon mal, and many greetings, Florian

Hello Florian,

Hold to your goals and make you aware that the recommended dose of the necessary and right now there are calculated path.

Hey Florian,
I also think that in your life at the moment things are more important than at the marathon in November to think. Care you and rejoice that you can move.

Hi Achim,
I'm currently au pair in Spain. In Germany, I played football and after a month in free sport Spain started to run regularly. Unfortunately, it was after one month also over now, because I am in an accident in early November my Schien and fibula have been broken.

Holá Ulrike,
nice that you again have the pleasure packed. But everything in his time. If you can swim back - swim. When cycling to work pain-free - wheel drive you should be running only when you can do without any problems. Humpelnd jogging makes no sense. That sounds quite unreasonable. You will remember when the time is ripe. Be patient, this is the best practice run, I would recommend at the moment.
All the best, your clipboard-Karraß

Dear Ulrike,
important is, of course, the medical opinion about the condition of your tibia. The bone has healed his solid, only then is a slow increase in stress to think. Nobody, not even the most extreme athletes, begins after such an injury immediately with running loads on. Prepare as above, the performance of our Karraß described with swimming and cycling before.

Marble cake, red-white.

Marble Cake: Yummy, yummy - even for runners


From the open kitchen windows and extractor hood installations beat him - sometimes by producing excess saliva - cooking smells from the different Sunday roast opposite.

Depending on the home and social living patterns may vary, particularly well-spread but the scents of liver with onions, steak, baked potatoes, rolls and goulash.

These smells make training due to a carbohydrate-depleted runners stomach (from the empty store in the liver and muscles, not to mention), whereupon his owner this particularly clear and painful pinches and this may loudly commented, even if you are meat for a long time from his diet has deleted . That is not me.

Not just on Sundays, even during the week I am going with an empty stomach on the stalk. Most is in the second third of the run, if my home is already almost smell it, but the final ever fiercer kilometers ahead of me, a strange fantasy one. Rarely is it the same, and I am always anxious to know what idea my body by surprise this time.

This affects me, suddenly and unexpectedly, for example, the illusion of a currywurst sweet with a lot of ketchup, or the idea of a giant piece of marble cake. This morning it was a thick breaded and fried in butter fish fillet the size of a Klodeckels. Lauter goodies that I normally do not eat and just surprised me.

Why my body feels the need to things to which he has been absolutely no more should know? Does my stomach about a memory? I can with the best will not imagine that these foods contain nutrients that a runner at this moment
requires: Majo with fries, roast pork with thick sauce and Kartoffelklößen, cream cake, cabbage rolls, onion cakes, Graupeneintopf, pasta salad ... so early in the morning?

Training plans to make me afraid. At times, when I can, should I make things that I do not want. If I use the word "submaximal" in plan view, I suddenly bad. I suffer from allergy and Submaximal Anaerobic-phobia. I have time and feel like my intestines from the body to run is closed.

Jan Frodeno too. Okay. Pentecost is ideal for a double dose of exercise units. A round of morning walk, breakfast, just lie down again, then two hours on the road bike in the bathtub, in front of the TV and slowly sink.

Super plan. Unfortunately only for singles. This life is not unattractive, I shortly after the German unification ended. Now I have children and especially Mona, one of those women who constantly have to prove how modern they are. This includes the sharing of childcare: Am I the morning hours alone in the forest, for whatever reason, gets Mona childless afternoon hours credit. This means that if I spent three hours a day practicing, I have three hours bespaßen children. Alone. Mona meanwhile goes to Andrea.

In Hansen's kindergarten is debated whether the three-year-olds not long ago with Chinese would have to begin. I notice that the small balls first learn to run backwards, is considered macho nonsense dismissed.

The fact is: My training time must be out of the care budget. But it explains how a wife of the training scheme has no clue? Mona goes to hearing, cooking by color and recognizes the refrigerator after Yin and Yang A. If I have hunger, there is only soy.

Mona just pureed tofu, as I heranschnurre. "That looks delicious, but," I say. Brilliant Overture. 'Deck' the table, "my wife bids. I cumulated capital of sympathy that I uncomplainingly the plates spread. "Could I tomorrow morning for training?" I asked gently. "If you half to nine with buns are back," Mona replied. "My training says that the evening I still need to train times," I fib. "What training?" Asked Mona, "the did you even invented yet."


ACHILLES-NEW BOOK


Finally, it is so far: Germany's runners have the perfect excuse for the tedious pace of training to tails. You must first of Achilles-the new book. Germany's funniest amateur runners has its columns to a new piece of forest and meadow run literature zusammengetackert: "Learn to walk without suffering" is available now in a good assortment of ramps and remains in blogs shop. The question "Can you actually run without having to suffer?" Achim normally answered philosophically: "You can, but it is not fun anymore." The 224 pages in the pocketbook is strong Heyne-Verlag and costs 7,95 Euro.

Unfortunately, it is right. I count not as an authority. I need an expert as an ally, at best an expensive. Like Mona. If the half-day with a towel-turban herumläuft, under the highly explosive chemicals britzeln, then she always says: Did Andrea said. Andrea is Frisöse, deals with chemical weapons on women's hair and is Monas allies. The two giggle incessantly. Hair cut lasts no more than a quarter of an hour, but the hour is giggling around. Afterwards Mona comes with a wheelbarrow full hair chemicals at home, a Prosecco Schwips and leergesaugter debit card. Then she wraps a turban. "Did Andrea said ..."

I need a Andrea, an authority that I can push everything, which is expensive and long. Maybe I should look again afford a coach. Although: Will I be monitored? Will I get my miserable little life skiers disclose? I have mountains of me make up new excuses. Other hand: "Andrea said ...", is the Killer Application.

Mona klirrt around in the sink. Probably they just zerdeppert my favorite glass. "Clipboard has said, I must on weekends twice a day to train," I say casually. Mona puzzled looks on. "He trains you about?" Asks them lurking. Not yet, I think, but that Mona does not know. "He takes hold only the best," I reply.

Achim

Good evening Dr. Pajonk,
I'm after some years of abstinence before running for about two years, finally, even without racing the sport has gone out to run. My run-sizes are usually kept within bounds, one just four miles, sometimes even 30 kilometers a week. On this non-continuous training, I have also sporadic complaints on my shin back. Even with a new pair of running shoes, I had some pain. My family doctor has the pains described as Shin splint and advised me, a few days with the suspension and running. Once this has helped, I am now back pain, although three weeks since I did not run bin. Can you imagine that such pain through disused everyday shoes can be caused?
Sincerely, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
Correct footwear is also important to walk away, so it certainly makes sense, your choice of shoes to wear and times to check suitability. But with your doctor clarify complex from where the problems come. It could also be an orthopedic problem - from the back or pelvis. Check also whether you have the right shoes, the
your running style. And make sure you also run on varying ground and you therefore have no unilateral burden.
All the best, your clipboard-Karraß

Dear Sebastian,
the way you describe it, it could be a bone skin irritation, which usually has something wrong with the condition of the shoes to be done. It is important that you do not wait too long with an intensive clarification. Because everything takes longer when the complaints have only chronifiziert.
Best regards, Dirk

Hey Sebastian,
to the right running shoes to find, you usually need at least a basic study in sports medicine. You can also just the shoe tips on

Hello Mr. Pajonk,
I (36, 1.89 meters, 82 kilograms) drift actually sports my whole life, but trying for two years now regularly and more systematically to run. Pensum weeks 20 to 25 kilometer, half marathon time: 1:42 hours. Since November, I sensed at the beginning of each run first deaf feeling in the back of the left thigh muscle, which after warming up and stretching first disappeared. After Christmas, this pain is stronger, the more from the left buttocks comes. A physiotherapy has rather aggravated the situation, probably because the inflamed muscle was further maltreated. Then I am a doctor of me and anti-inflammatory pills muskelentspannende devoted the first week was taken as prescribed. What could that be? If I'm a total break (no stretching, no treadmill, no walks) to appeal?
Regards, Volker

Dear Volker,
Numbness, pain, drawing ... This sounds very much like a problem from the back to. An intensive clarification is essential in my view, also because the complaints already too long for them to be taken lightly.
Best Regards, Dirk

Holá Volker,
I fear that a break does not solve the problem, and it reappears when you walk. If you are running is important, and I go out like this, it should be worth it to you that a sports medicine case goes to the bottom. Although miracles always happen, but I would not hope that the pain miraculously disappear.

The Muppets on tour.

As a fan of Achilles Marc Bischoff aka The Laufsau still small, had to leave at any ride in the car a cassette recorder the size of a suitcase with a pilot. Today, there are MP3 and smartphones. Nevertheless, it can sometimes violent music in terms of problems.

 


Previously, on the road to the summer holidays or to Opatija Bibione or the Baltic Sea, was the backseat of our Opel Kadett littered with dozens of MCs (music cassettes for all those who were born after 1985). Today it all fits on a memory chip the size of my fingernail.

AP
Muppets: Not necessarily the best motivation help


That is also very handy, but those stupid memory cards are so tiny that they can not label. Even if it could, like the Vietnamese rice painter, to a desire on the Buddenbrooks in a grain jasmine rice engrave, it could be without a scanning electron microscope, not read. And that can be easily confused dwarfs.

Instead of the latest
Motivational songs by The Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine, I took on my run today accidentally collected Durchhaltevermögen music for long car trips by son I bring. A journey through time in seven rounds.


Kilometers 1: "Hurray, hurray, the elf with the red hair ...". Such a goblin, makes nonsense of the louder and then comes cheeky, I had me as a second-grader also always wanted. Now I have two of them, son I and II's son, also always invisible when I want them together shit. And I was burning wish as my peace.

Km 2: "In an unknown Laaaaaand ...". Willi - that was my identification figure, and still is until today. Dick, glasses, slowly. And I openly admit it: I'm a fan of Karel Gott, especially this geknödelte "L" has been my eye: "Maja flies by IHRA Wäääääält, shows us what it gefääääält."


Km 3: "Heidi, Heidi, your world, Be-produced." The goats Peter is actually the first mountain runner of all time. As with his goats on the pastures jogs, which would be a case for the Jungfrau Marathon. With age I have always wondered whether what each other had the Heidi and Peter.


Km 5: "Hey, hey, Wickie, hey, Wickie, hey." I see stars sometimes, but not when I rub my nose, but if I am jogging again too long for my Garmin navigation device and then watch accidentally against a lamppost run.


Km 7: "An island with two mountains ...". Jim Knopf, Augsburger Puppenkiste. I have constantly to the small, fast, black Kenyans think. Again, I identify myself with a minor character: Mr. Tur Tur, sham giant. I'm a sham Sprinter: From afar, I seen quickly, but if you come closer, I will always slower.

Km 10: "Now all the puppets dance ...". The Muppetshow. I would really like an animal on drums. But after an hour walk today, I feel like the Waldorf and Stadler. Only twice as klapprig.

So travel through time is something wonderful. Some songs come to me almost in tears before emotion. But my first action after the return is, the memory card in mobile zurückzutauschen again. There is a heart to the soft, deeply emotional song by Rage Against the Machine, to me through each hole helps motivation: "Killing in the name of! Yeah! Come on! F *** you, I will not do what you tell me! Motherf *****! Uggh! "

Rich-Ã60 Hornets.

Dinosaurs on two wheels: On his trip into the cosmos discovered cycling Achim Achilles forgotten worlds. Sprightly pensioners tell of war, fluctuating between Wampentritt and Lotus office - and shock our miracle runner with almost Prussian pecking.

 


On the weekend I've time for a change in the dominions of reingeschaut cycling. Can not be that every cyclist
muffelköpfig such as those swarms of hornets that are on the Kronprinzessinnenweg a fun out of it, running into the ditch to push, not in passing a few more hearty Schnäuzer must be isolated.

While the runner prefers alone with himself and a few dogs running free of the forest durchstreift, tends to Velomane of collective sports. Then one has in any case always be a madman, who voluntarily makes the pace forward, while the pack in the slipstream stories from the Thirty Years War narrates. One knows since the first anniversary of the Federal Republic, the sprightly Mittsiebziger is no exception, but the normal athlete in the field. Because cycling is easy on the joints and the circulation in niedrigtourigen diesel operation is running, make some hand in the saddle a much better figure than on the ground.

Friends bizarre motions, the Wampentritt offered. If the abdomen on the upper frame tube surface, spread the legs almost to the Lotus Seat: heavy for knees, hips and the wheel enable the valiant fighters not exclude from the course prior agreements, orbiting in larger tours Hütehunde the field that earned Heroes of the Saddle which is specifically an examination and that had now a bright yellow shirt with the word "control" driver "must bear.

Favorite topic of the group of cyclists: the shortage. As in the People's Party are almost sprightly pensioners, the club life dictate. They start to sort numbers, perform the training rides and especially liked the big word. You can tour all the winners privately recite. The pecking order is clear: The senior is a senior, all under 60 must obey. If you are not militarily in ordinary three-series drives will be collected immediately whistled.

The Kurbelei would be quite happy if the word leader around the joy of movement would. Unfortunately meet most especially so in order to maximize the many unwritten rules and each other to control.

"Overall, the burden superhuman".

64 stages, 4500 km - the Trans-Europe Run: The doctors accompanying the runners Uwe Schütz speaks in an interview with the Achilles team about the extreme physical stress, adequate drinking behavior and rotating the heart. Moreover, he explains why a day of rest would be unfavorable.

 

Question: Mr. Schütz, you will accompany the
Trans-Europe run with a 40-ton mobile research laboratory. Why is this event so interesting for you as a physician?


Schütz: The runners have no rest day and so little regeneration during the approximately
4500 kilometers long route. We are interested in how long the body compensates for the extreme stress and when and why it is no longer possible. For us researchers it is a unique opportunity. It is also exciting that the runners problems.

Peter Bartel / Achim-Achilles.de
Trans-Europe runners in Italy: burden in the border area

Question: How do you mean?


Schütz: We analyze cartilage, make whole body fat measurements, examine the shift in body water and scan the heart with magnetic resonance tomography. There is a theory that the heart is under extreme physical effort around its own axis rotates. That has not yet been studied.


Question: Why could rotate as the heart?


Schütz: Possible causes of this might be the change of heart muscle and fat distribution in the area of his heart. What are the consequences of the change in body position could have, we know not yet.


Question: How many runners take part in your studies?


Schütz: Of the 68 runners taking part started 44th Each day we scan eight to eleven runners. We take morning and evening urine samples, they are centrifuged and freeze them. With the blood we all make the same 1000 kilometers. From August, we evaluate the samples from then. What comes out, I can not say. Just this: In the end, we have 18 liters of urine collected. This can make you very much.


Question: Have you already acquired?


Schütz: despite inflammation in the
Achilles tendon to the bone or skin, in normal circumstances where the doctor prescribed four weeks rest, run the Trans-Europe runners on. Previously, only eight runners up, because it simply because of the pain was no more.


TRANS-EUROPE PROJECT


The Trans-Europe Run (April 19-June 21) runs from south to North Cape. 68 runners from twelve countries have opted for the 4500 kilometers long race pending. Always is Uwe Schütz. The doctor of the University Hospital of Ulm support as project leader of the science teams of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to the Trans-Europe run.


UK Ulm


Question: Of the remaining runners who run with pain or injury?


Schütz: All. They have so much motivation and bite that they simply endure the pain. Now is the moment at which the weight loss of the runners have to deal with.


Question: How many pounds have athletes running down?


Schütz: Some runners have three to four percent of their body weight lost. That's not much, but if the trend stays runners get these problems. The fact is: The runners are the weight loss can not offset, even though they try every night, to eat as much as possible. Since the runners are naturally better off, the remaining reserves. A Trans-Europe runners need every day from 6000 to 8000 kilocalories record. In a 80-kilometer stage even more.


Question: What about the drink?


Schütz: Many drink too little or access to cola and beer. Beer contains many nutrients, but alcohol is not good. That you realize that here are individualists. But there are a lot of runners with an adequate drinking behavior, because it is in the endurance area is urgently needed.


Question: Is the Trans-Europe race healthy or harmful?

Schütz: There is no Gesundheitssport operated. The charges are in the border area, because it is about achieving a goal is high. The athletes take the risks in buying. The are manageable. But there are also some who are somewhat übermotiviert. Others are very rational and know exactly what they are doing.


Question: What do you believe how many runners on 21 North june to arrive?


Schütz: I estimate 60 to 65 percent.


Question: To what extent can physical pain from mental strength to offset?


Schütz: This is individual. One of the runners has multiple sclerosis: He learned to live with pain. Although we can diagnose physical detail, but it says nothing about whether a runner or mental problems durchhält gets. If everything works physically, it is ultimately a matter for the head, who arrives and who is not.


Question: Since they're sure a lot of endorphins in the game. Had the body's own pain without pain inhibitor überhaupt bearable?


Schütz: There are different areas of experience while running. The one describe a kind of trance feeling, among others running the race from a purely rational. As these efforts happen every day, remains of endorphin effect process is not much left. With our blood and urine analyzes test we also run after the endorphin content.

Question: Examine the runners on doping?


Schütz: That is not focus of our study and also not foreseen. If we wanted to do but, we also have the necessary material for it.


Question: Are any runners on illicit substances tested?


Schütz: It is clear that doping leads to disqualification. But a special control does not exist.


Question: Can you imagine that the Trans-Europe runners dope?


Schütz:
(long pause) I can and wants to say nothing, because I have no information.


Question: But you see as a physician but the performance differences.


Schütz: That I can not but conclude that the A nachhilft and the other is not. That is not my job.


Question: The Trans-Europe race covers more than 64 stages. Is it wise, without a day off the runners to the North Cape to hunt?


Schütz: If there were breaks, the runners had problems with sore muscles. As such, it is better to run it daily. Overall, the burden superhuman. The performance curve shows a continuous downward course.

Cruel pain.

Many runners suffer from pain, especially if they train too much. Achim Achilles and Co. give tips and advice on how to find the right level. Simple Solutions has the expert team, however, unfortunately not.

 

Hi Achim,
I'm 63 years old and runs for 15 months regularly three times a week 5, 8 and 10 to 15 kilometers, depending on your mood. Also I ride with the bike into the office, out and back about 22 kilometers. For some time my thighs hurt, either running as well as on the day after, like a muscle ache. Because magnesium helps? I must say that I have a slight osteoporosis and regularly take calcium D3. Is the magnesium?
Sincerely, Joachim

Ongoing Suffering: Oh, Pain Is On!

Dear Joachim,
aching legs are basically no first bad sign, but the proof that in the muscles something happens. With our
simple training rules you avoid that the line between good training and strain is exceeded.
Viele Grüße, Achim

Dear Joachim,
Yes, calcium and magnesium are tolerated, it's no problem. You should see only the two preparations are not taken simultaneously but delayed. But if the complaints with your help, I can not answer. Perhaps the burden on the days on which you walk and bike going, just very high and then it would be pure and simple muscle ache, which brought some time to smoke.
Best regards, Dr. Dirk Pajonk

Dear Joachim,
Pensum your sounds in fact very extensive. Basically, your sporting commitment very beautiful, but also give you some rest and relaxation. Maybe you leave it for two weeks times with two units running and lets some air in your life, instead of always just to meet the workload. Anyway should you have a tolerable rate of loading and discharge to find out what the bottom line is more effective than constantly much to run.
In peace greets you, your clipboard-Karrass

Hello,
after I've recently just gone underground'm icy, I'm now the main stress foot hurt and the side on the outside of the thigh, just above the knee. Is not bad, but annoying. Someone knows what it is, and whether to order the DOC to? Or I can even cure?

Dear Jutta,
first of all times is important to know whether the pain load dependent, that is: Are the problems worse when running or is it a steady pain that you already did the normal walking? There are two possibilities: Probably that there is a muscular problem and most so-called tractus iliotibialis. Just try, if you replace the pain with strain to reach it. The second possibility would be a problem on the bone, but for what I do not think very likely. If the symptoms persist for longer or even get worse, you should trust your doctor to consult.
Best regards, Dr. Dirk Pajonk

Hello Jutta,
it is not uncommon that after walking on snow or frozen ground muscular problems. It makes involuntary movements Dodge brings more strength and effort in order not auszurutschen. Under certain circumstances it is also very cautious and a bit uptight. The result can then be exactly your description, that due to the additional strain muscles, ligaments and joints respond. An extensive and prophylaxis by Dehnprogramm sauna or relaxing after such trips are on snow and ice is very helpful.

Hi Achim,
since the end of October, I have (39 years old and 76 kilograms) problems at the femoral neck bones and the hips. I run for eight years and was my workload in the last year to five times weekly to increase ten kilometers. My Orthopädin diagnosed after X-ray a slight overload inflammation, devoted to me the anti-inflammatory painkiller diclofenac, a short walking break, but everything remained unchanged.

After a further consultation, she informed me that I could in the future no longer jog, it is a duplex or a wear and tear arthritis. I should change it to swim. After running four and six break microwave treatments, I had no pain and did a little test run. A week later the pain came through, and now my Orthopädin expresses the suspicion of Hüftkopfnekrose, using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance imaging in two weeks to be clarified.

How long do I have to pause if it turns out that it was only an inflammation involved? How can I tell if the infection is healed up? Can I promote the healing process? And if it is indeed a Hüftkopfnekrose, do I have to stop running?
Thanks for any information and advice, Martina

Dear Martina,
above all, it was a matter, the worst case, the idea that Hüftkopfnekrose. That would be really a reason, the burden now drastically reduced. This MRI will also show whether it is in fact so Arthrosis is wear and tear. Only after further investigation we can see, everything else would be speculation and you would hardly help.
Best regards, Dr. Dirk Pajonk
