long distance runners/marathon runners using viagra

[Cobra008]

This might be a little off topic for this section but I wasn't sure what other section it would be.

Has anyone else heard of long distance runners/marathon runners using viagra for increased endurance, decreased heart rate, etc...

And could this be practical for any other sports...?

(let's keep the jokes to a minimum, we all know what Viagra is traditionally used for. lol)

Yea gives you a slight edge out in front to break the ribbon first.

no but realy , I'm sure that their might be some sort of benifit to it , I know a few people that do the 1/2 triathalon things and they use some stuff to help their breathing and I'm sure their is other stuff that they take.

I'll ask a couple and see if they have tried it or know about it

Yes

I just went to google and typed in viagra for endurance sports. Quite a bit of info on there regarding viagra and endurance sports in high altitudes.

A friend of mine is a marathon runner and this is how he explained it: There are only 2 main types of tissue receptors that PDE5 inhibitors work on, in the penis and in the lungs. Obviously, hyper vasodilation of the pulmonary arteries will be a huge benefit to the runner ie: more oxygen and rbc's being delivered through pulmonary circulation.

heard of long-distance athletes (mainly cyclists) using EPO to spike their red blood cell count (I think?) in order to increase their VO2 max.

It must have to do with aero-dynamics
