There has been some discussion lately about the necessity of recovery during training. So how much and what recovery do we need? How do we fit in all our training, cross-training, weights, etc. and still have time for recovery? What can we do to recover faster? How much recovery is needed prior to taper? How do you balance training hard and training and recovery?
It sucks getting old. I'm sore as hell. :toohurt:
You did not hear this from me and if anyone asks if I said it, I will deny it.... but, extract of the herb known as "Devil's Claw" works very well at reducing post-hard workout soreness. It works better than, say Aleve and the like.

The local grocey store sells a drink in the health foods section called "Function Shock Sports" that contains this and works very well.

OK, since you are a lawyer, I have to note that I am not a medical professional, nor do I play one on TV. Further, the above does not constitute an endorsement of the use of herbal products or any particular product. It is merely an anecdotal discription of an non-scientific, non-controlled personal experience and your mileage may vary. The user neither claims that the above supplement is fit for either its stated purpose or any other purpose so, if you decide, say, to use it for enemas, hey - that's your kink not mine. Not all potential side effects are known. If your breasts fall off or you suddenly decide to sing the entire score of "Cats" at work, I had nothing to do with it. Any and all use of herbal supplements should be undertaken only under the supervision of a trained medical professional or witch doctor or that strange girl who you used to know in high school who wanted you to call her "Moonflower" when, in fact, her name was really "Phyllis Glumpfenmeyer", although she always had the best pot. And, as always, do not remove mattress tags under penalty of law and a visit from the matress police.

I see it stimulates appetites, LBJ. Just great, I already walk around starving all the time. If I just do a few wee sprints and then recover, how am I supposed to: have sufficient endorphins, de-stress and burn calories?
Oh, I did stretch a lot today.
