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 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.

After a couple hours at the gym/pool, that's how I feel too.
I did book a massage when I was so sore over the weekend. Definitely helped!! I'm not quite desperate enough to try the ice bath yet.
Anyone try traumeel?
