Description: Speed

cushions consist of

asphalt, raised about

3 1/4 inches in

height. The length of

the cushion is about

10 foot. The spaces

between the cushions

allow emergency

vehicles to partially

straddle the device.

TRAFFIC CALMING OPTIONS2

Department

Description: This

combination of devices

consists of speed

cushions and a center

median. The median

provides some area for

landscaping and narrows

the travel lane while

speed cushions reduce

vehicle speed.

3

Description: Traffic

circles are raised

landscaped islands

constructed at the center

of intersections.

Motorists travel in a

counter-clockwise

direction around the

circle. Traffic circles

are "yield upon entry"

meaning that vehicles in

the circle have the right

of way and vehicles

entering the circle must

wait until the path is

clear.

4

Description: A chicane

is a series of two or

more staggered curb

extensions on alternating

sides of the roadway.

Horizontal deflection

influences motorists to

reduce speed through the

chicane. A raised island

is added to the center of

the road to prevent

motorist from crossing

the center line.



TRAFFIC CALMING OPTIONS5

Description: The

intersection is

narrowed by extending

the curbs toward the

center of the roadway

or by building

detached raised

islands to allow for

drainage and cyclist

passage.

6

Description: Semi-diverter

is a curb extension or

barrier that restricts

movement into a street.

The semi-diverter is

constructed to

approximately the center

of the street, effectively

obstructing one direction

of traffic. Creates a

one-way segment at the

intersection while

maintaining two-way

traffic for the rest of

the block.

7

Description: A curb

extension constructed

diagonally across an

intersection,

disconnecting the

legs of the

intersection. All

traffic must turn at

the intersection.

After the Marathon …

Y

If you are interested in information on other health and fitness topics, contact: American Council on Exercise, 4851 Paramount Drive, San Diego, CA 92123, 800-825-3636; or, go online at http://www.acefitness.org and access the complete list of ACE Fit Facts.

YOU MADE IT. YOU FINISHED A marathon. Whether it’s your first or your fifti-eth, the feeling is still the same: exhilaration,which, at some point, gives way to the tired,achy feeling that inevitably comes from havinglogged more than 26 miles in a single stretch.

Too often we try to ignore what our bodyis telling us and carry on with our regulartraining. This inevitably leads to that flat, “out-of-shape” feeling, illness, or worse, an injurythat sidelines you for weeks or even months.

Take it EasyRest—which many athletes consider a

four-letter word—is one of the most impor-tant components of a successful training pro-gram. Endurance events such as a marathonpose special challenges in replenishing hydra-tion levels and fluid stores, repairing/remodel-ing cellular disruption in skeletal muscle andregaining a sensible mental drive. Other factors,such as environmental conditions (hot/cold,calm/windy, humid/dry), terrain (hilly/flat),intensity, and your own physical state (rested/fatigued, trained/untrained) also may affect therecovery process.

Here are some guidelines to help ensureyour recovery process:

The First Few Hours Keep moving and change clothes as

soon as possible to stay warm. Resist thetendency to just stop and plop! A gradual cool-down is important and will enhance the recov-ery process.

Drink, drink, drink. Complete restora-tion of your fluid balance is a critical part of therecovery process, particularly in hot, humidconditions. A combination of water and sportsdrinks will help replenish lost fluids, sodiumand electrolytes.

Alcohol and caffeine should beavoided during the rehydration process asboth may potentially increase urine output.

Eat. Early food intake is essential to fuelreplacement following endurance exercise, andalso assists in restoring hydration levels. Whilecomplete reloading of muscular glycogen sup-plies may take up to 48 to 72 hours, a signifi-cant portion can be refueled in the initial 2 hours after the race.

Check yourself out. Look for blisters,rashes and other irritated areas that mayrequire treatment to prevent infection and fur-ther injury.

Week OneRelax. This is your week to do “nothing.”

Give your musculoskeletal system a break, anopportunity to repair and remodel. Even if youdo not experience excessive fatigue and sore-ness, resist the temptation to train. What’s aweek of rest compared to spending two to fourmonths recovering from a major illness orinjury? Studies have shown that muscularstrength five days after an event is greater in ath-letes who completely rest than those who jog orexercise in the days following the marathon.

Additionally, continuing to exercise, even in a limited fashion, will only delay the refuel-ing/rehydration process. And, as you move backin to physical activity, the temptation to starttraining harder again grows—too soon. Giving

in to the temptation to train harder at thispoint in time generally leads to an extendedrecovery from unnecessary injury.

Weeks Two to FourGradually return to your training

routine, but remember that completemusculoskeletal recovery may take up to amonth. Start out at 25 percent or less ofyour normal average training quantity at aneasy intensity. Increase to 35 percent to 40percent during week three and no morethan 50 percent by week four. Duringweeks three and four, it is okay to considerdoing one or two tempo-type training ses-

sions. Don’t be afraid to take a day or two offshould you start feeling soreness and/or fatigue.

Maintain proper hydration andemphasize good nutrition throughout thisrecovery month. Your muscles need adequatefuel and protein intake to continue healing andadapting once again to the training routine. Payattention to restoring flexibility and mobility, butbe careful not to over-stretch. This is especiallycritical during the first two weeks following thecompetition. After the first month continue togradually increase your training (10 percent to15 percent per week) until you’ve eased backinto your normal routine.

Good luck, and remember, rest means theopportunity to compete and train—an injurymeans watching from the sidelines.
