Ouch-sore already

[forgop]

So after my 2 week induction, I started on extended yesterday and started increasing my cardio. I'm getting up at 4:30am and running a mile and then tracking my miles that I walk with a pedometer throughout the day. I did 7.85 miles for a total of 8.85 miles on Monday and then did my mile run this morning. I'm already hurting. I plan on doing a minimum of 40 miles a week and may find that doing 50 miles will be fairly easy.

Is there anything that I can take that is Atkins friendly to help speed up the recovery?

Thanks!

Re: Ouch-sore already

Hi Forgop,

Good for you this (very!) early morning commitment

I am not sure about supplements to ease soreness, I expect someone else will be around to advise, but I would recommend warming up exercises and after run stretches to ease soreness and prevent injury.
