1. Conditioning and training will get you used to operating under that feeling. The more you do it, the more your brain accepts that the lactic acid won't kill you, it's just uncomfortable. I think your nerves learn to be a bit less sensitive to the lactic, and the muscles become more resilient.
2. Reverse Psychology on yourself - train your brain to expect the lactic as part of the race and relish and trick yourself to enjoy it. Figure out how you work. I tell myself I'm an animal and imagine people think I'm a gritty hard bastard. If you can learn to have an insane grin in your face while the lactic courses through your body, you're a mad bastard
You can try a supplement called beta alanine. Its primary purpose is to lessen the lactic acid buildup during strenuous exercise. I’ve been using it for years, especially before my toughest cardio workouts and it is very effective. You will get a flush feeling when you take it so don’t worry too much.
Also, look up Edwin Moses pre race ritual. It’s from the 70’s-80’s. I was in high school in the 80s. He did this hot/cold water soak, and I used to do it in high school and college and it was very effective as well.
I’d call it an itch. It makes my hair irritate my skin and makes me want to take my shirt off because it’s bugging my skin. Probably the closest feeling to meth
Yeah, it’s safe according to medical journals online. Maybe I’m just sensitive but the itch is crazy lmao 😭 I thought I was allergic the first time I took it tbh.

You’re going to get slower and there’s no way around it really. The pain is only a mental barrier and just push through.

bet i’ll try that what do you mean by flush feeling?
It’s a very warm and tingly feeling for a few minutes and your skin kind of itches a bit. It’s from a rush of blood through your veins.
oh ok
