The other day someone pointed me to the following post from Coach C on running2win.com: 
To me this advice rang true, even though I am not a speedster of the sort the coach is talking about. 
I couldn't find an article with the right title, but I think this is the article the coach was referring to: <a href="http://runningspot.com/art_runningexercises.php" target="_blank">http://runningspot.com/art_runningexercises.php</a> 
What other advice would you give to masters runners? 
Speaking of advice, how is the Women Masters Training Manual coming along? I think it is such a cool idea, and you ladies are a perfect group to get it going.

I'm a big believer in icing, and ice baths in particular. 
CR animal hermosaboy says three keys to his durability are:
<ul><li>morning recovery or shake-out runs (when running 2x/day)</li>
<li>ice baths after hard or long runs</li>
<li>using the foam roller multiple times per week</li>
</ul>
I haven't tried running 2x/day yet. Askeert.

I ran 15 today and took an ice bath. I agree with mariposai that after an effort of 2 hours or more, your body will thank you for it. Put on a sweatshirt, get a cup of hot chocolate, and the latest Running Times. It will be fun.
