Another great long run with my friend M. We ran through New London, into Waterford and then back through New London. Headed out at about 6:15 am and it was chilly at that time, but after the first 2 miles or so I could feel my hands again and the temp was just right. Sunny, cool and a breeze. It was Ms longest distance run EVER and she did great, so glad I could accompany her on this huge accomplishment! And thus, she was rewarded with some tasty IPA homebrew that Dave and I made a few weeks ago.
I have recently invested in some sport drinks... Cytomax recovery and Cytomax Pre-formance.
I take th PRE before about 30-45 min. Before the long run I took 2 scoops (26 gr protein, i usually take 1 scoop before regular distance runs) I really felt this stuff working. When I was running it felt as though I could just keep gong and felt no pains. Then afterwards the recovery drink is also amazing.... after stretching drink about 16 oz and I am hardly ever sore after a good work out. It says it is supposed to reduce lactic acid by 40 %. I believe it.
After the marathon last year I drank a free sample of cytomax recovery and was impressed... not only by the taste but i believe it helped with my recovery, (i did take an ice bath too though)
Post marathon I felt good , I could walk and go up and down stairs just fine. I certainly didnt feel like I had ran a marathon the day before.
