runners can run marathons almost every weekend without too much trouble. Those who race very fast and really push themselves in the marathon usually need a longer recovery. If you've done all the training, you'll recover much faster than if you go
in 7 weeks...funnily enough by the last one I felt I'd had enough but that was my best run of the lot...On the recovery side I'd just suggest no runs over 5-6 miles between each marathon and also a couple of rest days after each. I was talking to one
ran my first half yesterday 1hr 51...but feeling really sleepy and headachey since. any recovery tips? Bloody good time for a 1st 1/2M Dominique! WELL DONE!I have never run taht fast, fastest half was 1:53. After which i was knackered, not aided
Hi, I have just finished the Windsor Half Marathon ( my first ) and was wondering how long should I take off for recovery. I am ready to start now but don't want start to soon. Cheersgwc You've just finished it now? 25th September 2008 at 16
homemade smoothie ok or a yoghrut when you first finish your run? I prefer a milkshake.They're meant to have just about the optimum balance of carbs and proteins for recovery ? i have used you know those for goodness sake, but they are expensive i think
saw my GP. He's just diagnosed me as being asthmatic. Does anyone know if being asthmatic impacts on recovery ? The reason I ask is that, latterly, I've been taking longer to recover from my runs, even the short slow ones I do with my Jog
for it but not convinced I'm going to do it).Just wondering how long do I need to recover from the marathon and what exactly should 'recovery' consist of as far as Tri training goes. I don't particularly want to sit on my @rse for two weeks. cheers guys have a few days off
from 37g (50g of powder, 500ml water).So, is there any real difference about what kind of carbohydrate is consumed for recovery as one is sugary, so a quick high, and the other is more starchy so should take longer to fully reach the body. isn't rego
Leila - it may depend on whether you are having it taken out through the bottom end or through your abdomen(!) the latter usually having a longer recovery time. I'm sure someone will be along shortly who has had the op to tell you about their experiences
a few miles - is this normal and what can i do to get back into my training?Thank younats Nats - no expert me, but guess it's probably a combination of both. Recovery can take a while, so it may be that you're not yet fully recovered. Hopefully
