Last week was bad news for my running, but today was great! On Monday of last week I over extended myself, and it took the rest of the week for my body to recover. On Friday and Saturday my wakeup heart rate jumped up about 10%, but on Sunday it was down to normal, and today it was only about 4% high.
I ran my four miles today with a typical pace of about 11:30. That is the same pace that did me in last week, but this week that pace was my resting pace. I measured the last half-mile at a pace of 10:50. So, I feel good about today's run. My legs felt fine during the run, and they still feel fine after almost four hours. I did two cadence drills during the run, one out and one back. I did two cadence drills, one out and one back.
I was late getting out to run and hit the trail about 11:30 this morning. The temperature was in the high 70s, the sun was shinning, and it was a beautiful day to be out.
Have you ever tried using RECOVsport to help your body recover after your runs?
ReplyDeleteI saw this study,
Middleton N., Jelen P., Bell G. (2004) Whole blood and mononuclear cell glutathione response to dietary whey protein supplementation in sedentary and trained male human subjects. Inter J Food Sci Nutr 55 2:131-141.
I know this stuff helps me out when I run.
Thanks, bree, for the reference. I haven't used that product, but I have read in the running literature that eating protein after a run helps with recovery. I googled the title you gave and found the report on that product.
