Training Pain Tolerance

From Competitor.com

While it is seldom talked about, one of the most important objectives of a competitive runner’s training is to increase his or her suffering tolerance. The only way to do that is through familiarization. To resist suffering more successfully, dig deeper into those reserves, and perform better in races, you must first break through limits of suffering tolerance in training. Most runners have only physical rationales behind their toughest workouts. That’s okay, because the best workouts to stimulate physical improvement are more or less the same as the best workouts to teach suffering tolerance.

  1. The side-effects produced are common reactions to almost all opioids and concern themselves with how the body will attempt to regain its receptors to function in a normal manner. Due to the lack of normally functioning receptors, such other parts of the body and chemicals begin to hold sway and the I’mmediate result is nausea, vomiting and lightheadness. On the positive side of using Hydrocodone or Hydrocodone APAP the side-effects produced are increased tolerance to pain, because there is a numbness and a feeling of vacuum and one does not feel any pain.
    This develops greater tolerance to pain and the threshold to absorb greater pain increases. This side-effect is very essentially for orthopedic-based surgeries, where correct positioning of the bone happens to correct a fracture and the overall pain multiplies many folds. It is at tI’mes like this that one finds Hydrocodone or Hydrocodone APAP to provide beneficial side-affects and prevent one from experiencing several days of severe pain.
