So we have done the half and now have to really get mentally and physically prep'd for the full. Aside from going to bed early, eating pasta...what advice would you give to prep the body and mind?
I may have DH bring that when he meets me at finish. Sometimes he's brought the chocolate milk. We will see what we come up with for that time.shelf capable one (i.e. no refridge) with the current forecast
Coach,
Do you know if dried cherries are just as good as the juice? I've been regularly adding them to my daily oatmeal. Just wondering if I should step it up a notch over the weekend.
Thanks!
Speaking of shelf stable recovery beverages does anyone have any recommendations? My favorite brand (ReGen) was bought out and no longer makes theirs. Ii stocked up when I heard the news but am down to a few left.
I've tried Muscle Milk, Honey Milk, and Hammer Recoverite (this one I really didn't like - too much malt and tasted filmy - although I will say it seemed to work).
I'll probably poke around the expo a bit but I haven't been seeing much variety at them recently.

My recovery drink used to be Yuengling but is now O'Doul's.
I think I posted this last year about this time. Beer (at least the non-alcoholic variety) is now supported by science as a recovery drink.

I'm partial to Cytomax before/during a run, and Muscle Milk afterward.
I am busily working on compression pants with ice pockets for the ankles, kness and hips and heating pad coils for the calves, thighs and glutes
