[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really. A person with normal kidney function and no other pre-existing conditions is not going to get kidney failure or a GI bleed from taking Motrin and running a 10k. Especially since while running a race you are constantly hydrating. I've been racing for 30 years.[/quote]

I've been racing for decades too.  I've even taken Advil during a race, but its a terrible idea.  This has nothing to do with pre-existingconditions and I have no idea what you mean by "constantly hydrating."  I never drink enough to replace the sweat on a day like today and for a 10K I probably wouldn't drink any water at all during the race.  As i wrote before, runners probably don't have to worry about the issue for a 10K, but when PP wrote that OP should take massive amounts of an NSAID, that is a really terrible idea.  Most of us can take an advil during a race and get away with it, but sometimes runners can't and there's no reason to take that risk.  As OP wrote, once you get going the adrenaline is more effective anyway.[/quote]
