A member asked:
What is the benefit of going for a long run the day after a race or an intense strength/speed workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not for recovery: It is a myth that a recovery workout will help your recover faster. But, some people say still do it because you are pushing yourself when your body is already tired. There is evidence of benefits of exercise in the so called "fatigued state", but for the casual athlete these benefits may be minimal.
