Hi Ed
I meant 'races'. I've done a couple of really tough long races recently and have pushed myself pretty hard (one was the Saab Salomon Turbo X 10 Mile Trail run at Sheffield - never seen so many hills or so much mud)
Your training plan kicks in again the day after the race and this is the day that my legs are feeling sore. The rest of the cycle is working really well and I'm feeling really strong - definitely not pushing too hard. I just wondered if there was a specific benefit of training the day after a race?
