The Biggest Mistake After a Trail Race
Most runners think recovery means rest.
So they:
Do nothing and stay stiff
Or rush back too soon
Neither works.
And that’s why soreness lingers longer than it should.
A Hard Trail Race Is a Full-System Hit
After a high-elevation effort, your body is dealing with:
Muscle damage (especially from descents)
Joint and tendon stress
Nervous system fatigue
Hydration and electrolyte depletion
If you don’t actively address these…
your body doesn’t fully reset.
