So far, I've been taking my recovery slow.
Monday: couch, beer, bath triathalon
Tuesday: Gym work out, XT using Nike Fitness
Wed: Elliptical and abs
Thursday: Went for a slow run (close to 10 min miles) and met up with Colette. Best quote: "I think some alien stole my body and ran those sub-9 min. miles"
Today: slow run or gym, still, at 5pm, unclear.
I've been stretching a lot and taking it really easy as I've headed back into cardio-land. I'm just trying to get myself back into a gentle running schedule through the holidays before beginning any real running training (speed work, endurance work). In the mean time, I'm working on adding cross training/strength training into my work outs, including circuit work, balance, weights, core, and IT-specific stuff.
For now, that means rolling on the foam roller and doing these exercises from Saturday Morning Zen. If you've had IT problems, they're really easy to work into a post-run cool down/stretch. See more here.
