You will be fine in a couple of days and probably better for the experience.<br />Now if you twisted an ankle in the descent that would be another story.<br /><br />"I am sore in places that I never knew would be used for running. My calves, my quads and my lower back are all tender, and the rest is recuperating as well. "<br />Room for thought here.<br /> I do both road running and some mountain running and I don't find the latter take much more out of me than the former. For someone who runs some very hilly marathons, Dingle being the immediate example, maybe some off-road training would reap more benefits than repetitive high miles on roads. The beauty of hill running is you get both a cardivascular workout and strength training in one workout.mithrilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-88066278105955657452009-08-20T21:10:17.704+01:002009-08-20T21:10:17.704+01:0012th on your first mountain run is very good.

You need to respect the impact a mountain run like that will have on the body and running anything more than a short recover run the next day could cause more harm than good. If you do a few such runs like this though I believe you'll reap the benefits. You'll meet all sorts of conditions on the hills, bog being pretty standard. A pair of trail shoes is a pre-req if you were considering another one. Cheers.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509458589253049879noreply@blogger.com
