Recovery from ultra, about nine days

I could run a few days after, but I didn't feel back to normal until the second Monday after the event. So about nine days.

The sore muscles had gone in a couple of days, but niggles in my left calf and right foot reared their heads on different days. Both quickly over with, though. Gym sessions and isometrics helped.

So, one cycle of the Big Vert plan down, one to go.

I'll have a few weeks transition and then get back into it.

This time with more vert, hill sprints and Z3 --- the things my body couldn't handle the first time around.
