Garfield2010 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Guys, I overtrained in my moer in. Now I dont have too long to rest before next Sundays 70.3 in East London. How can I speed up recovery?? Massages? Electrotherapy?
Face Plant Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 a week should be enough to taper Garfield dont just stop though just take it very easy! thats what i would do
The Saint Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Training for 70.3 is hectic and we are all looking through the back of our eyeballs at the moment. Continue with your normal training. You should however be in the taper phase this week. I still need to do the following sessions this week and next so maybe do the same and hopefully it will be enough to get you recovered.

Garfield2010 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Ok thanks I really went on a hard run yesterday and my legs havent ever been as sore as now....
The Saint Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Take it easy now, you should really just be going through the motions. I am pretty sure that if you do the above but at a really relaxed pace you will be well rested for next week. You could even take the above and half everything just to keep the legs and muscles turning over.
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Massages? Electrotherapy? Nah, all you need is a couple of powerbands, some new balance toning sneakers, and some of that other dude's HCL night cream.
SwissVan Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Ok thanks I really went on a hard run yesterday and my legs havent ever been as sore as now.... Sore legs from a hard session is not exactly overtraining, take a disprin and if the pain remains after 4 days consult your Hub again.
The Saint Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 LOL by Monday the 24th he is really going to know what pain is all about - what he is feeling now is about the same as a very mild headache
SwissVan Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 To ansrew the question: The pain you feeling, not much you can do other than wait it out 4 - 5 days max. Pain pills, massage, ice bath probably the most effective in that order. Have never tried the electrotherapy machines so cannot comment.
Guest agteros Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 training hard, and hurting ain't overtraining! more like under recovery eat yer meat and proteins!!!
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 eat yer meat and proteins!!! Is a wine gum a meat?
