Summary of Christie Aschwanden's Good to Go

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Garfield Grumble is a 5-mile trail run in western Colorado that is known as the summit and plummet. It is a difficult course that forces runners to use their hands to help them climb the sandstone boulders.

#2 The importance of replenishing fluids and carbohydrates after a workout or game has been drilled into us by magazine articles and sports drink ads. But the alcohol in beer seems potentially problematic. Could it be partly to blame for my post-Grumble DOMS and that utterly spent feeling the day after the run.

#3 There isn’t much scientific evidence to support the claim that beer can help or hurt your recovery after exercise. A few studies have shown that alcohol can impede the body’s replenishment of muscle fuel stores after exercise, but those studies only examined rugby players and weight lifters.

#4 The objective of the study was to see if drinking beer after a hard run would have any effect on recovery. The first decisions we faced were how to define hard run and how to measure recovery. We decided that the pre-beer run would be at a pace that would diminish muscle glycogen stores, and that the run to exhaustion would be used as a measure of recovery.
