It's been three weeks since I ran the Way Too Cool 50k ultra trail marathon in Cool, Ca. Since the race, many friends have asked me, "How long does it take to recover from a race like that?" My knee jerk reaction has been to say, "a few weeks." Well, I am happy to say that my legs are finally feeling back to normal. Unlike the first few weeks, I feel like I can push the pedals on my bike without cringing, am able to keep up with my friends on the climbs and can walk up the stairs without my quads from feeling like they are exploding out of my skin.
With the Tahoe Rim Trail 50M race coming up in July, I am curious to see how much longer it will take me to recover. 5 weeks? 6 weeks?
