This is the second week of recovery. If you need another, take it. Recovery time is really a personal thing.
Cross country is over. Now it is time to unwind.
The body now needs to recover. So does the mind.
We suggest two weeks of recovery twice a year, after cross country and track season. We are providing two options below: week 1 of total recovery (3 days of activity a week), and week 1 of indoor season for distance runners, which keeps it light, and allows you to get into a few races after your amazing cross country season.
And most of all, remember that, when you are looking for running shoes, check out www.hokaoneone.com and check out the results of their fall racing contest, www.hokaoneonepostalnationals.com.
