How to recover from the Marathon

Q - Coach, what do you recommend for recovery after running a marathon?
A - see Coach Pimm's answer in the following video:

Also - an abstract of the study referred to by Peter can be seen here. Technical correction: In Peter's response he recalled the study mentioning that the muscle biopsied in the marathoners was the soleus. In fact, it was actually the gastrocnemius which is the calf muscle overlying the soleus.... but hey, the study was in 1985....

Great to catch up on your site Peter! My son Jamie (28) just ran his first marathon in Toronto on Sunday in 3:18. Yesterday he had shoulder surgery so he won't be able to run for 8 weeks - yikes! I have sent him this link and he will appreciate your post marathon comments.
I am running some shorter distances these days, after a particularly irritating piriformis injury. Would love to do a half in the fall... we'll see! Cheers, Mary Jane
