|  Subject: What's your recovery plan?So I had the luxuary of doing preseason training (8 - 10 hours a week) while not working. Sure I had to juggle the kids, but they are much more willining to handg out with me while I am stretching / eating etc than people at work are!  I had plenty of time to make sure I was looking after myself and recovering well from each session. After being back at work 2 weeks I have noticed quite a few niggles and things I'm struggling with. I've just realised it's because I wasn't sticking to the good recovery patterns I got into.  Typical things I do to recover: Stretching after EVERY workoutYoga once a weekGood eating patterns all the timeAppropriate recovery food after every workout 
Cold shower on the legs after every long run (and other times when feeling fatigued) Core strength sessions (not so much recovery but good to maintain form)Plenty of sleepSpreading workouts across the day and week rather than jamming them all into a small timeframe
 What else do you do to aid recovery on a day to day basis? Gerrard
