Mixing pain medication with exercise

On Thanksgiving weekend I joined thousands of runners in Victoria for a ½ marathon on a cloudless, windless and temperate Sunday morning along a wonderful Oceanside course. Thousands more were right here in Kelowna for the Okanagan marathon in what was by all accounts a glorious day as well. One of the more common sites that you observe prior to and even during the races besides the normal warming up, stretching and nervous chatter is participants taking various pain medications. One of the more common pain medications that runners use is ibuprofen either in the belief that this will help them control pain and inflammation during the race or limit their post-race suffering.
