One of my running friends recommended something like Maxifuel post pump session would help a lot. Can anyone else recommend something that has helped them etc? I'm not a lover of sweet drinks or artificial sweetener, your advise is much appreciated.

Canute Mar 2014 10:34pm, 6 Mar 2014 873 posts	0 Canute The evidence for ice baths has been a subject of much debate. The balance of evidence does suggest some benefit. Alex Hutchinson re-examined the latest evidence in his Sweat Science column two weeks ago. runnersworld.com As you will see, in the most recent study (of cyclists), they spent 15 minutes immersed up to the neck, at 15 degrees Centigrade, immediately after training four times per week There was some rather unclear evidence of a small benefit for those had the cold baths. The debate continues.

Using sports nutrition products won't make any difference. I can't see how applying a thermal stimulus to your skin would help in any way. You have my sympathy. On Saturday I went indoor climbing for the first time in many months. By yesterday, I could just about bear to laugh without holding my abdomen.

I'm pretty fit, but I get DOMS whenever I take a break from Pump and my other usual classes. The first week back I can hardly walk, the second week back is about half as bad, by the third week it's all ok again. Really, I've worked out it's best to just chuck myself back into it and suffer, cos doing more doesn't make it any worse!
