Depends what you mean by fully recovered I think. When I ran my 20s, I ccouldnt run more than 9-10 long run the following week. Though, I am sure I will get better with time. The 20s, especally when I ran for time, really messed me up apparently. I think it depends on 1- your fitness level 2- how hard you pushed at the…

Every time I get injured it takes a bit for my body to realize "hey, we don't need to prepare for a long run this week". Part of it is recovery too, I try to focus on protein and water to provide fuel to rebuild, plus it helps curb the appetite. Especially because you've been on a routine, training for HOW long?

I have compression socks and any research i have found only indicates that they help MUSCLES and only if youre not an "elite" athlete, whatever that maybe.... I used them some, but they didnt put enough pressure on my splits to help…

perfect, thanks! especially about the chaffing, I thought about that very little at my last half, and it was a mistake. Testing my clothes should be on my list. I found the hal higdon plan though someone else's post on this board, and it looks a lot like what I had planned out on my own. Thanks for the tip to keep the long…

I have had a hard time with binge eating as well, mainly because I restrict and then become too hungry, or I just dont know when to "stop" at the end of the meal, so the meal goes on for the whole day. My suggestions that have helped me: 1) measure servings and plan meals. "eat one apple now, if youre still hungry thats…
