I’ve done a couple of big efforts lately (e.g. 40k with 2000m vert) and I’ve noticed that recovery can take up to a week. I try to hydrate, eat, electrolytes etc before, during and after, though not necessarily paying attention after the first day after the run. Looking for tips on best practices for this time period. Thanks!
I did an adventure race yesterday and ended up with two (consecutive/geographically continuous) Strava activities, both of which involve both biking and trekking at minimum. Ideally I would like to combine them, then separate the parts by type. Any recommendations on how to proceed with this (future advice also welcome as a beginner to this sport). If it matters I was using Apple devices but I figure someday soon I’ll need a Garmin.
Wanted to run the whole loop but cut short due to logistics, sun, chafing, Achilles….but what a gorgeous day! Ended up tag teaming with some guys to get a ride back to the Dragon’s Tooth parking area from the temporary Tinker parking area. Any detail questions please ask!
ETA I took some breaks so clock time was almost 2 extra hours lol. Stashed drinks and stuff at McAfee Knob parking (my mile 11.5) and temporary Tinker parking (where I stopped, but was planning to continue)
