The half was on Sunday and I could tell that my legs were going to be a little sore for a few days. Yesterday I started phase two of P90X, which worked great because day one is upper body weights. Day two, which was today, happened to be plyometrics (jump training). Skipping this workout was an option but that would have been a mistake.
After a long run when your legs are achy and recovering it can be good to push them a little. A short run or some squats can help work out the soreness. Walking down the stairs to start plyo my legs hurt; walking back up after the workout they felt really good :)
Recovery isn't always about laying around doing nothing (although that does have it's place). Sometimes you need to do a little work in order to recover well.
And the P90X recovery drink is always good!
