How long do you usually take to recover after a big race? I just completed my first 50k and took a week off, spending a lot of time with my foam roller. I'm not sure if I'm feeling beat up from the race or from taking a week off.

I always try to go for a short and slow recovery run the next day (less than 10K). It’s hard, especially the first km, but it increases blood flow to exactly the areas that need it, and this helps muscles recover. I am a big believer in active recovery.

I was trying to go out for an easy run the next day, but I had told myself before the race that I was going to take a break for a week, so I stuck to my plan. Next time around, I think I’ll get back out sooner to get the blood flowing.
