Leg Pain

guest — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 08:47:10 GMT

I just completed my second marathon but am very dissapointed. I had this sensation for a second time during the race where me legs from the waste down were in excruciating pain. It actually felt better to run than it did walk (which is why I finished the race) but as soon as I stopped I could barely stand up the pain in my legs was so bad. About 30 minutes later it started to subside and then completely went away. I am frustrated and confused because it does not appear to be an injury at all but just kind of starts progressively getting worse at aobubt the 30-35k mark. Anyone have any experience with this? Appreciate any advice!

Flow in Marathon Runners Research Study

Exploration of Flow in Marathon Runners

IRB Protocol # 20032

What does "Flow" or "being in the zone" mean to you? How many times have you experienced that feeling during a race? How can marathoners get into Flow more readily and consistently during their race?

I am a doctoral student in the Department of Kinesiology at Temple University conducting research on flow: an optimal state of arousal that has been associated with peak performance within sports as well as the performing arts. If you are a marathon runner above the age of 18 and willing to participate in a two-part study examining the relationship of Flow to performance in marathon runners, you may be eligible to complete several online surveys regarding factors that influence Flow during your race. The surveys will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. All information you provide will remain confidential in terms of personally identifying information.

If you are interested in participating in the study, please contact Leeja Carter at: lmcarter@temple.edu.

Thank you for your help with this research.

Thank you,
