You'll see over time that your exercise will get easier the longer you are away from smoking, or at least I could notice and it made me want to stay away.

Great job quitting Clark!!

Amen.  When I was playing football in college we used to have to run (20)110yd sprints in under 18sec each with 30sec rest between.  During the summer you would build up your conditioning to pass the test before 2-a-days. Toward the end of the summer I was in great shape and on a Tuesday ran all 20 under time with no problem at all.  We had Wednesday off so we went out that night to the bars and I shared 2 cigarettes with a girl who I was trying to be friendly with.  Didn't really drink that heavy - no more than any other night and less than a weekend - and seemed fine the next day.  Thursday morning, I had to run the same sprints.  I got to #10 and was coughing, gasping, couldn't breathe for anything, and was basically begging the lord to pull a hamstring or something just to make the pain in my chest stop. That was the worst day of conditioning I've ever had. I missed time on the last 6 if I remember correctly and got my ass chewed out. I swore off Cigarettes before I took a step off the field.


Interesting. I don't doubt your story, but I read a fears years back (Outdoor magazine, maybe?) of long distance runners smoking just before a race to help increase lung capacity and other stuff that i can't pronounce or understand

I can tell you first hand that's bullshit. I smoked two cigarettes a few weeks ago and went to run the next morning and felt like death! And I run 5-8 miles 5 times a week

I recall similar stories, but I believe they smoked them immediately before the run/swim.  The chemicals increase blood pressure, heart rate, and some other stuff.  Who knows for sure, but I am positive I have never seen Michael Phelps take a drag (cigarette) before a comp.

Maybe the green. Rogan always says it helps him with jujitsu, Running, and weights. He’s a big believer

I was smoking to enhance my endurance while jeeping.

I read the same as Clark, they were practically smoking on the starting line. Im sure lots of athletes have never done it, just as they have never done anything else to give themselves an advantage.

Then again, just about every cyclist in the pro world never doped until it was exposed that almost everyone of them did lol

Old room mate had a Schwarzenegger documentary with candid video of him smoking pot while training for competitions

I read the same article posted and I thought it was written by the Marlboro man himself.

Haha, that would be a classic Simpson's scene.
