wonduhboy Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 So I'm ramping up my interval training, and I'm feeling it later in the evening, and the next morning. So what works to speed up recovery? ice baths, compression garments, glutamine...
Bat-ass Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Apparently Cortisone and testosterone..... Lexx, krl747 and RockCoach 3
RockCoach Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I have a decent stretch. Drink a protein shake and then REST. A lot. Sometimes wear compression garments if I have the energy to stretch them on.
Mr SingleTrack Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Stretching and ice baths is the most cost effective solution IMO. There are some supplements that work well
Witkop Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 sleep........ Wayne Potgieter, =Bones= and Wil6 3

wonduhboy Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 I love the idea of sleeping and resting more, but with normal daily life that needs to go on, sometimes it just doesn't work out. I normally stretch after a ride, but does stretching again later in the day really help?
SwissVan Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Feed, sleep and alternate hard easy daysBelieve in the above and you wont need stuff that sounds like a chemistry experiment =Bones= and jannosmit 2
Coiser Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) What would Lance use to recover? ..................... Edited October 23, 2012 by Coiser

Seadog Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I ice cold Chocolate steristumpie, followed by 3 even colder windhoek lagers. ChUkKy, Riario and Burries 3
DJR Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Apparently Cortisone and testosterone.....And human growth hormone I gather
DJR Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I find massaging the tired legs with Arnica Gel works for me. Even if I have to do it myself.
rouxtjie Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 STF for me....worked like a bomb after VG marathon on SS. I have noticed that any ride with a TRIMP score above 600 on my training load in Sporttracks, I normally need a shake. Vinnydabutcher 1
Azonic Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Recovery? USN makes an awesome supplement... I believe even kids can use it.
RocknRolla Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) i wear compression longs. and either have some hight protein food, (biltong, screambled egg with low GI bread) or take a recovery drink from 32gi. nothing beats a massage from a nice young lass a'la sani2c.... but found recovery a lot quicker when wearing the compression pants - maybe it's a very successfull snakeoil placebo effect...
