So you've got a big race this weekend AND next weekend? How do recover in time? Here are my tips:
1. Post Race 1: Take a Recovery Protein Drink. I use both Fluid Recovery Drink and Luna Recovery Smoothie.
2. Use the The Stick! It's a miracle in a stick
3. Stretch, stretch, stretch senora, stretch it all the time....
4. Consume a HEALTHY meal or two...post race and in between races is not the time to eat cake. Eat fruit, veggies and foods high in antioxidants and protein
5. Rest a lot - take a few days off in which you practice yoga or go for long walks
6. Take a mid-size run to prepare for your next race - you don't want to loose what you've been training for
7. Repeat.
Remember to continue to take your multi-vitamin daily - add additional iron or calcium if your doctor recommends it. Don't know if you need extra iron or calcium? Drink more milk and see your doctor - you don't want to OD on iron. Also - make sure the multi-vitamin you are taking is FDA approved, has evidenced claims (proof, fact, etc.) and that you take your daily amount.
