recovery run
Post Marathon Run
Just ran an “easy” four miles this afternoon. My legs felt fine all day long despite yesterday’s tough marathon and I think several things helped the quick recovery: Hammer Nutrition Recoverite consumed within 20 minutes of finishing the race A consistent course of Tissue Rejuvenator capsules over the past couple of months A 15 minute [...]
Sunday Morning 8 Miler
