I ran 14 miles for the first time ever on Sunday. I was so nervous about it, but it went really well and I hardly even walked at all. Since Sunday, I've been so sore though, which is odd to me since I usually don't get very sore from running. The last time I was this sore had to have been after my half marathon in February, so I guess it's the distance? I know I've ran 11 miles twice recently and was hardly sore at all. I haven't been eating as well in the last week as I was before those runs either though, so that could be a factor. I do believe that my protein intake affects my soreness after a workout.
All the stuff and then some |
The Stick |
Foot Rubz - While I think the good ole tennis or golf ball does a pretty decent job, the Foot Rubz has "fingers" that can really dig into the muscles. I use this a lot as my feet often hurt. I've rolled it on my back/shoulders and thighs as well. My kids think this is a toy and I can't find it right now.
Heating Pad - Because heat is oh so soothing to achy muscles. You could also opt for those disposable versions that stick to you, allowing you to wear them discretely under your clothes.
Mojo Mini Pro - This massaging device can be used on all different body parts, I like it on my shoulders and back. The stainless steel rollers are icy cold and feel really good on tired muscles. Be careful though, I have a generic one and have had the balls come out, very dangerous with small children around.

Zensah Calf Sleeve |
Zensah Recovery Tight - The Zensah Recovery Tight is a unisex compression tight that targets and supports muscles in your legs aiding in recovery by increasing circulation. These are on my Christmas list this year and I'm sure with my marathon training they will come in handy. I already have a use calf sleeves and an ankle support from Zensah.
That's it. Do you have or use any of these recovery products? Are any on your wish list?
