After two days of intense running, a rest day was absolutely necessary. I was still riding the high from yesterday’s run, but I made sure to take recovery seriously – keeping activity to a minimum with just some light stretching and foam rolling. A hot bath with Epsom salts was the perfect way to relax my muscles, and I could really feel the difference. Proper recovery is just as important as the miles themselves, ensuring I’m ready to go again stronger.
