How can I recover from my 15 mile runs faster? It takes me at least a week. I lift 4/6 of the other days of the week.

I tried creatine but I put on too much water weight and it makes my joints creaky.

Ice Bath.

Electrolytes, get some good stuff from a pharmacy. Also, take dedicated rest periods after your run. Teaches your body the rhythm of running.

Mobility work, short shake out run the day after

It depends. What do you mean not recovering? Fatigue? Sore joints? Sore muscles? Other?

Ice, foam roll

Fatigue and soreness

Soreness only lasts a day or two but when I'm running regularly, my performance dwindles until I take at least a week off

Maybe eat and sleep more.

Fatigue you can rack up to muscle glycogen depletion more or less. POUND calories post run, and no matter how far you went, do NOT eat below at least maintainence for the day. Plan your run in a way that you get as much sleep the night after.

Soreness, ice baths will help. Taking a slow walk the next day will help. Foam rolling, massage both help. Doing as much of your mileage on a soft surface as possible is important. Also, what is your weekly mileage like? It could be that 15 is just too much. You don't really want to ever let your long run be more than 20-25% of your weekly mileage.

15 miles of running is pretty hard on the body man.

It's just going to take time to recover after a run like that, maybe listen to your body so you don't run up the SnapBack mountain

>creatine water weight

why does that matter? do you have to stay within a certain weight class for a competition?
>>
>>36493956
Do short stretching before and thorough stretchstretching after
