RTTC #81 Get Rid of that Dead Leg Feeling After Disney Race (Post-Race Recovery)

Send us a text

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn what to do in the first few days after Dopey to recover fast and get rid of pain and soreness.

1. Gentle movements</> like mobility exercises where you go through a range of motion but don't hold the position too long
2. Get up every 30 minutes or so. Every 30 minutes get up and walk some steps: go get some water, then the next time go to the bathroom (bc of all that water amirite?)
3. Get a massage today or tomorrow
4. Take a hot epsom salt bath. 20 minutes in a hot epsom salt bath, the magnesium helps with the pain and tightness.

Eat and hydrate! Lots of protein to give those muscles the building blocks they need to recover from the weekend races. Hydrate with water to flush out the lactic acid.

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
