[RC] Stocking up - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: ti Tivers@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== A sudden increase in daily miles results in stocking up, often appearing in the hind legs first, due to lack of tone in the blood vessels of the legs. The back-flow valves in the veins are inneffective to prevent pooling until they catch up with the workload. While it is stupid to suddenly increase daily mileage as has been described, stocking up is not likely a sign of injury under these circumstances. It is an early warning sign, though, that should be heeded by cutting the mileage in half until vascular tone can catch up with the workload. ti =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
