Even with lots of stretching and rolling, my legs are still a little sore today. But not as bad as I thought. So this morning I did more stretches and went out for short runs in the evening. Ran 1 mile on a good pace (20" faster than my 10K avg pace against strong headwind), then power walked 1 mile on 13'35". Ran 1 mile again on a faster pace (1'15" faster with tail wind). Finally my thighs and calves caved in with cramps, I had to walk the find mile slowly. Back to stretchs and rolling again!
I also tried GU gel packs and Nuun tablets. They seem to be great giving a quick energy boost. I'm going to take some more and see if my recovery time can be shortened.
