Recovery

DOMS (the pain you get in your muscles days after exercise) is still hanging around since the near death experince of the London Marathon Sunday! My attempt at a sub 3hr got well and truely pushed to the max Sunday and it was close - too close 2.59.32! happy with that tho, especially after having a disaster of a pre marathon day by walking around London for so long that I started to develop a mild blister before the race had even begun. All this because I was to tight to get a hotel friday so did the journey Saturday and ended up lost and walking 4 miles around the expo and the rest of the place.

In a pritty bad way Monday and stayed pritty inactive - next day felt a little better so tried some really easy x training on the bike, lovelly day for it and ended up doing 40 miles, felt great after it - active recovery is far better than sitting all day in my mind!

Hopefully can ease back into it now,  X training mostly this week then get a couple of big milage weeks in before the ultra, all eyes on my first 50miles in jus 4 weeks!
