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:

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.
I haven't noticed any appetite increase at all, but after a 2 hour straight swim I'd eat a brick if it had mayo on it, so that's not a good yardstick.
Have you tried massage? That's another A+ method of recovery.
