[...] Massage: have someone work gently on your sore muscles or use a foam roller. [...]

Foam rollers -- the best! Well, perhaps tied with The Stick. I'm a runner and I swear by both the foam roller for post workouts (Hannah: I use the roller hours and, sometimes, days after a workout to great effect). I use The Stick before I go out for a run, to loosen up my muscles and ligaments. I've had ITB problems and both the foam roller and The Stick have been life savers for me!

Good luck with your rolling. I tried foam rollers and didn’t find them very effective. But I’d be interested to hear how it works out for you long term. I’m writing a 3 part series on foam rollers and other massage tools at http://feelbetterfast.blogspot.com/. I just finished part 1, it’s a work in progress.

Yes it will! I try to do basic stretches (calves, hamstrings, and back) post run and then use the foam roller at night. It's a muscle massage on the cheap. I like the big fat one the best. Rachel's last blog post..Fun links around the blogosphere!

I am so bad at stretching...I usually do my runs with my kids and so by the time we get home they are done and need this that and the other- so the stretching is just not happening! I like this though- do you think doing at night- looong after I have worked out for the day- would still help? Hannah's last blog post..The Plan

i need to get me one if these. i do stretch but probably not as much as i should. i do however sit in a freezing cold bath post long runs which helps a lot! Fitarella's last blog post..NYC here I come!

frick

sadly nothing and am in FULL OF EXCUSES mode about it.
mainly the “Im so thankful I ever workout given the hect-i-tude of my life that who has TIME to recover”

duly noted.
