Last week of easy aerobic running before we start to push into high-end aerobic efforts. As mentioned in the last post, once a week make sure to include some fast striding after an easy aerobic run. The comments have been good, the new people are starting to warm up to everyone, and comments are coming from all over the globe it seems. So many exotic locales, I'm trying to plan the next family trip ... hmmm ... spain ... houston ... tough call.
We've preached the importance of recovery nutrition. I'm gonna put in a plug now for the Equate Weight-Loss Shake from WalMart as a fantastic option for the 45-60 minute post-run recovery window, after the 15 minute post-run gatorade/powerade window. Forget the 'Weight-Loss' moniker, we're talking recovery now. All you returnees know I am a big fan of Balance Bars. But check out a side by side comparison of the two, add in that the shake will be absorbed quicker, and then do a cost comparison. Either way, experiment for yourself, there are many solid options. But just make sure to make recovery nutrition a daily part of your training.
