Ended the day with an easy 60-minute spin. Today officially marks 12 weeks until Chicago. The last five weeks have been an intentional offseason. I started with a couple of very easy weeks, then gradually brought some structure and faster running back in while keeping the overall volume much lower than usual. This week will be easy so I can give Friday night’s 10-miler a real shot. Once I cross that finish line, the offseason is over. Then Chicago gets everything I’ve got.

Sunday morning workout! 15 minute easy warmup + 4 x 30-second builds at ~5:27/mi. Then a 6-mile 2/1/1/2 block: 2 miles @ 6:30 1 mile @ 5:27 1 mile @ 6:27 2 miles @ 5:30 Three minutes recovery, then 6 x 30 seconds fast/30 seconds easy at ~5:20/mi, followed by an easy cooldown. Just under 13 miles total. The wind made those final two miles at 5:30 pace a grind, but I got them done and the legs felt good overall. Now we freshen up and get ready to race 10 miles Friday night. Now it’s time to celebrate National Ice Cream Day, the most important holiday of the year🍦

FRESH CARBONS JUST ARRIVED FOR FRIDAY NIGHT’S 10 MILE RACE. Metaspeed Edge Tokyo: Retail: $269.95 Bandit price: $215.96 $53.99 saved on ONE pair. Bandit members get 20% off ASICS through Marathon Sports. Spend $625/year, roughly 3-4 pairs depending on the model, and the ASICS discount ALONE pays for the entire $125 membership. And that’s before you factor in a SINGLE other Bandit perk.

My girlfriend is eating ice cream in her ice cream pajamas on National Ice Cream Day. I love this woman so much.

@Scgatchell Thanks! Yeah, it’s basically a true test of your threshold when you’re racing for right around an hour. Add a tough course and a 6 PM start in July, and it could be brutal lol.

@jwlindl Sauna is definitely winning this thread. Do you foam roll every day or mostly after harder sessions?

Beyond sleep, easy days, and eating enough… What’s one thing that’s made the biggest difference in your recovery?

@NathanDoy That’s an underrated answer. Recovery starts during the run too, and some shoes definitely leave you feeling less beat up the next day.

@HankFrank Softer race foams without a doubt. I’m far less beat up after running longer sessions in shoes like the Endorphin Elite 2 / Fedian Elite 6

@rndmruminations Interesting one. Seems like most people here are on team heat, so it’s cool seeing the other side.

@HankFrank One good ice application - talking about 30+ minutes up to an hour - will at least quiet and maybe solve anything that hurts. You know, short of actual structural damage.

@JackAnderson_8 Heat therapy might be the MVP of this thread. Lots of sauna and hot tub votes.

@CharleySeymour6 Definitely not your imagination. A little easy movement goes a long way. I almost always feel better after a walk than I do sitting on the couch all day.

@HankFrank Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel I recover better when I walk around as opposed to laying on the couch all day.

@samstnes The carb timing one is huge. It’s wild how many runners absolutely nail their protein but barely think about carbs after hard sessions.

@HankFrank Carb timing or foam rolling/ massage gunning Hard to choose one, felt exponential gain from both

@arianaelena97 I stopped drinking a couple years ago and the difference in my sleep, recovery, and overall consistency has been massive!

@RossMackay111 Sauna seems to be the runaway favorite so far. Have you noticed the biggest difference in how your legs feel, your sleep, or both?
