Many runners (myself included) finish their long run or workout and immediately move on to the day’s next task: showering, work emails, getting the kids off to school, etc. But if you aren’t taking the proper post-run recovery steps, you could be limiting your progress.

On days when I race or run hard, I sometimes feel ready for bed at 7:30pm! While this early bedtime makes me feel a bit like a grandma, I listen to my body and give it the extra rest it needs. The human growth hormone (HGH) is essential in repairing muscles and soft tissues broken down by training. However, when deep sleep is absent or interrupted, HGH levels decrease, prolonging recovery from exercise. A few years ago, a study published in the clinical journal Sleep indicated marked delays in muscle recovery by subjects that were prevented from accruing 90 minutes of continuous (deep) sleep.
