Increased mileage in my training has brought on a bit of soreness, and a slightly sluggish feeling in the morning when I wake up, like I just didn’t get enough sleep in order to recover properly.
Although I don’t think anything completely replaces rest, hydration and the occasional massage to aid circulation and recovery, I’ve also found that it’s best to fill up on antioxidants- in the form of fresh fruits and veggies, antioxidant sports drinks, and the occasional serving of fruit juice.
Once I increase my mileage again in a week or two, my next step will probably be to take my nutrient intake even higher by ingesting some fruit and vegetable supplements: the two I’ll sample are Juice Plus, and Nutrilite’s Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables tablets.
And of course I’m taking glucosamine supplements. I’ve had to take these since my 26th birthday when my joints decided that they were angry with me. The stuff works. In fact, the Nutrilite formula for glucosamine actually has antioxidants and Vitamin C in it, so that’s been a huge boost for my recovery plan as well.
