Yoga and Ice baths: My new Gods

Tried an ice bath for the first time this weekend. It helped quite a bit surprisingly. Getting in was fun (not) but it doesn’t stay frigid for long.

I also did an extra yoga session after Saturday’s 90 minutes in my new Z1. I was amazed how loose my hip flexors were on Sunday morning. I bought a yoga DVD last weekend called Yoga Conditioning for Athletes with Rodney Yee (sp?). It wasn’t overly aggressive and really gave me an overall good stretch.

After last weekend's fuel issues between Saturday and Sunday I made sure I got lots of good carbs on Saturday night after my workout. I don’t always feel like eating after my workout for a few hours but I really need to between these two longer workouts/runs.

Today I’m feeling like I need more stretching. I think I’ll try and work in more stretching and/or another yoga session. Today is an easy run (my old Z1) so shouldn’t be too taxing.

I’ll keep this short to make sure I get posting more often again.
