So...how long does it take to recover from a 50M?
I've been jogging easy fine (after my first 9 days ago), and that's (jogging easy) most of what I do anyway, but I tried a couple workouts - one on Sat (2x3200 @ 15K goal pace) and one today (attempt same thing), and the one on Sat beat me up and I couldn't hold the pace, and today I ran the first a bit fast and gave up & skipped the second entirely. So I'm hoping this is some aftereffect....
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

2-4 weeks to mostly recover
Maybe more to fully recover
But it depends on lots of stuff I am too lazy to type about
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
2 weeks.
Yep, 2-4 weeks but don't rush it .
I thought I was invincible after my first and jumped off a stile and wrecked my hamstring....

Thanks guys!
And I had a good chuckle at the nice humorous phrasing in this line: But it depends on lots of stuff I am too lazy to type about
All good advice and as DP says there are lots of variables to consider.
Personally I think you should listen to the body and run by how you feel. If your feeling good keep jogging / running and if you feel sluggish slow down the pace, xtrain, sleep or chill out and have a beer reflecting on your achievement
