Who came up with the idea that we are supposed to drink orange juice at breakfast? And why, if oatmeal is so good for us, do we eat that only in the morning as well? Apologies to the Palinites, but nutritionists are starting to realize that you and I like our oatmeal and OJ before we start the day because we evolved to like it that way—because enjoying the two together is healthier than eating each of them alone. Epidemiologist David R. Jacobs, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota calls it food synergy, and he, along with many other nutritionists, believes it might explain why Italians drizzle cold-pressed olive oil over tomatoes and why the Japanese pair raw fish with soybeans.

Wouldn’t you like to run hard workouts and long runs and be able to recover well for the next day? Now you can. I’m going to share my recovery routine that helps me bounce back from marathon prep workouts and hard speed sessions. It combines nutrition, dynamic exercises, and sleep techniques to help you recover fast. Running Recovery is Paramount to Performing at Your Best It’s important to understand why you get sore after a hard run and why this is a good thing. The key is to learn how to properly recover from long runs and hard workouts. The problem is that a lot of runners don’t take simple measures to recover as much as possible from their running. Injuries were common when I was in college and not only for myself. The purpose of a recovery routine is to allow your body to start the healing process immediately. After your body has time to adapt to the stress of that workout, it super-compensates for the extra stress you put it through and gets stronger. Focus on Long Run Recovery
