I tried for the first time my new recovery day - track workout Mon. morning, then time off until the Tues night swim which ends up being well over 24 hours off... my recovery day! It worked well, I really did feel like I had enough time off. My calves have been sore after these track workouts so I used my compression socks, the stick and did some stretching as well. I'll have to keep an eye on those calves. This time it was both of them evenly though and not the one that was previously injured.
This is my recovery week... have a bike & swim tomorrow, hills & long bike Friday and an 8-mile run & swim over the weekend. I need to get to bed - Good night!
