Hey everyone. Mostly a lurker here but I have a question about diving and exercising. I'm currently training for a marathon in January and in December I know I'll have a little free time to get some diving in before the end of the year (and hit 100 dives! woo!) but I wanted to see what the feeling was of how long you need to wait after diving before doing heavy physical exertion. My general plan would be something like this:
Dive saturday am so be out of the water finally no later than 11 am.
Long run sunday (probably 2 - 3 hours so a fairly intense workout) around 6 or 7am. That's about 19 - 20 hours from surface to running.
I've always been extremely conservative when it comes to flying and diving. More so than probably even makes sense. The closest I've ever come to 24 hours is probably 30 - 32 hours of surface time. (I travel extensively for work so its something that affects nearly every dive I make.)
Does that sound like enough time? I could always do my runs in the evening the following day rather than the morning but that affects my schedule more than I'd like for the marathon and 3 hours at night is tougher to fit in than the morning! I have to be safe too which is my primary concern.
