<< Do you really think so? In what sense? Just curious, maybe you could
explain your thoughts on this a little more...just curious? I'm unclear

growth and strengthening, or if you mean damage beyond that point.

Again, just interested to hear your point of view on this.

This is taken from what happens with human marathoners. Not much study on
this in horses. Marathoners suffer more muscle damage in their events than do
half-milers and sprinters--although the latter tend to experience acute
injuries more often.
