Hi all, just curious to hear what you think about running in the afternoon following a morning race. I ran a 10K race this morning, and was thinking about doing 5 miles of light running to loosen up. I'm still planning my standard ~22 mile jog tomorrow - just not sure whether a 5 miler of light running this afternoon would be beneficial or not.
For reference, my fitness level - sub-32 10K runner, training ~90-95MPW. Thanks!
I never really do and I'm similar fitness/mileage. But if you feel like it, go ahead. I know ofa few guys faster than me who would if they felt like it. Leave your watch at home though and think of it as therapeutic, not training.

someone at that level is not dumb enough to ask this. what are you gonna do, melt or something?
I'd say I'm a solid runner, but I don't pretend to know all that much about the best kind of training or recovery. Regarding the afternoon jog after a race - I've done it before, I've not done it before, I just wanted to hear other people's opinions.

I think it will make you feel better and will aid recovery. It doesn't have to be 5 miles but at least some easy jogging will be beneficial IMHO.
Do it with a friend.
