Morning Trailers! Hoping to get out for a short recovery run- my run yesterday kicked my butt pretty thoroughly
qotd: besides rest, anything you do special to aid recovery? I've been taking an ice bath after long runs and that seems to help; I also find a short, easy run the next day (sometimes two days later ) seems to help as well

Good Morning!
SRD for me. I took some advice and scheduled in a little cutback week (that turned into 10 days, but whose counting).
I'll get back after it hard tomorrow.
QOTD: Eat. Lots. mostly unhealthy. Have you ever had an Almond Snickers? great recovery food.

7 miles on the trails this morning with some friends to cap off a 30 mile weekend.
QOTD: Hammer Vegan Protein Powder and a Clif Bar right after a hard run if I'm behaving myself, otherwise I just eat everything in sight.... I'm also partial to soaking in the tub with Epsom salts the evening after the run, and then jumping on my indoor bike the next day (usually while listening to running podcasts or watching running videos on youtube). I find the bike is a good, low impact way to get the blood flowing in the legs.

yoga today. No running this weekend.
qotd: I'm not running hard enough or far enough lately to have a special recovery regimen. Just food.
Nothing yet today. Trying to gather gumption to go after a hectic and stressful day.
Qotd: I just try to double up on protein . My protein and albumin level are low anyway. After every run I eat a protein bar.

Spending an absolutely wonderful day at work. Temps are in the upper 70s and humidity is rather low. Should have called off. Legs are a little sore and tired from 13 road miles last night. Not sure why considering I've had multiple trail runs greater then that distance in the past several weeks. Must be the pounding of the road.
QOTD: Beverly International Ultimate Muscle Protein. Been using this for a long time and it does make a difference in recovery.
