The day after... Okay, my legs are a little stiff after yesterday’s race. However, shortly after I woke up, I managed to go out for an easy-pace, 6.3-mile run over to Saint Vincent’s, to the Lions Recreation Center, then over to Smith’s to pickup a few groceries before heading back home. There was actually nothing “easy” about this run; that is, it was done at a slow, sore, stiff pace. With that said, I have discovered that going for a run on the day after a race expedites the recovery process.
My non-running workout consisted of 200 sit-ups, 10 metronomes, and 20 push-ups (yes, the return of push-ups). |
