Subject: Recovery period after a HIM
How long do most people lay off the running after a HIM?  After my marathons I went back to running too soon struggled.  I am guessing that I could swim a couple days after the race, a shot bike later in the week and then pick up running sometime the following week. This is just a guess and wanted some feedback

I have a HIM this weekend and plan on doing similar to what you suggested.  Swim/bike after a couple days and ease the run back after a week off.  Just keep intensity light and get rid of any soreness you have from the race before jumping back into the regular routine.

Don't forget stretching and/or massage for your legs to help you recover.
