How does alcohol impact running?

Question

Tom Evans · Answer

So a couple of things here with consumption of alcohol, firstly it slows down your reaction time. So if you're running on uneven surfaces you may yeah you might trip up and things like that even if you've not drunk very much but you've got to slow reaction times. You're not able to see the ground as quickly but for me mainly the reason why I don't drink is because of the increased recovery times pose training alcohol stops your body being able to To synthesize protein. So you're unable to rebuild or repair any muscle fibers or any muscle damage caused. So it almost it's like when a factory shots but there's still lots to do and everything just gets part up. Part up part up and at some point it's yeah. It's all going to end very badly.
