there is a limit to how far they can run and that is simply because they built for those bursts of energy and it is hugely hugely demanding on their bodies and their muscles their muscle structure is completely and the way that they they sort of deal with the build-up of lactic acid and all of that it's completely

such as lactic acid. Mutans streptococci are resistant to this acid, but unfortunately, our teeth aren't. While each human tooth is coated in a hardy, protective layer of enamel, it's no match for acid.

Quote examples
Alistair Brownlee
British Athlete
When you ride fast and then rest for a bit, it causes a spike in your heart rate and helps your body deal with lactic acid. But you don't need to make it too complicated. Yorkshire is perfect because the hills work as intervals - you ride up them hard and then recover before the next one. Or you can just sprint to the next tree or lamppost.
Quote examples
Thandie Newton
British Actress
Yoga stretches out your body and releases lactic acid. I do it four times a week, and my skin feels fantastic afterwards. When I'm doing a film, I do it every day - I keep a yoga mat in my trailer. Sometimes I do it in front of the TV. The stretching makes me feel so good. It gets my heart going and helps me breathe deeply.
Quote examples
Jenson Button
British Athlete
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
Quote examples
Hans Adolf Krebs
German Physicist
In the course of the 1920s and 1930s, great progress was made in the study of the intermediary reactions by which sugar is anaerobically fermented to lactic acid or to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Quote examples
Eduard Buchner
German Scientist
As is known, the sugar molecule as it passes through lactic acid can easily be split by purely chemical means.
Quote examples
Ezekiel Elliott
American Athlete
You can't really sit around when you're sore. You've got to get up and work all that lactic acid out.
