Recovery Please

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 did, at my Chiro's recommendation, when I fractured a rib, last March. I really don't know if it helped, assisted in helping (Rub A535 + Tylenol 3) or had no effect at all. I used both the ointment and tablets. At some points I was even ready to swallow the ointment if it would have helped at all. My ART doc gave me a sample of the tablets to try. I feel better today, but I don't know if it's due to the traumeel or the fact that I didn't swim over the weekend. Probably the latter.
