 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Folks
OK so it might be just deserves for not doing enough preparation, but my legs ache. The tops of my thighs at the front and the tops of my calves at the back - its not too bad on the flat, but stairs are hurting - apart from a fistful of ibruprofen is there anything I can do - heat, cold, stretches etc.

Megamum, Leave the drugs, sounds like all you have done is used muscles that dont usually get a work out. For real pain have a deep massage of the hurty bits.

Message or stretch, soak in the bathtub. I don't know if it actually help with recovery. It sure feels good.
A nice long easy walk (no stairs) does wonders for me after a hard day on the slope.

Megamum, It's too late for a cold soak in the bath (works very well) all you can do now is to work out the excess lactic acid . . . a long gentle walk that includes some steps or hills. Don't go at it like exercise and get all out of breath and a raised heart hate, just ease it out and have a good gentle stretch afterwards.

Eat some carbs within 30 mins of finishing exercise. Any longer than half-hour and the muscles don't absorb the energy for another 24 - 36 hrs, leading to overaching muscles the next day.
There is emerging research that suggests stretching muscles either pre- or post-workout has little or no impact on the body. A steady warmup or warmdown, like marching, may be more effective.

Not sure about that advice, she'll end up with sore thumbs as well.

Megamum, just enjoy that rather self-satisfied feeling of a really good day of skiing!
As abc says, a good soak in the bath feels great (even if it's only of psychosomatic help)... & you can't beat a large G&T, in my experience

A nice easy jog for fifteen minutes should sort it out.
Only the first few minutes will really hurt.
Honest.

The technical name for this is delayed onset muscle stiffness Whitegold & Masque have the right advice. some low impact exercise to keep the muscles ticking over for the next few days should work, but I would walk rather than run as Mosha Marc suggested

Yes, I agree - the best cure for aching legs is more gentle exercise. I'm a great one for not following my own advice, of course. After my Snowboard in a Day course on Sunday, I did a load of gardening all day Monday followed by teaching a (not very gentle) aerobics class in the evening. It is a miracle I could move at all on Tuesday!

Boris, after the stretch, is it a case of "roll over and fall asleep"?

Honestly, what are you lot like?! 
I like Boots Freeze Gel.
If it's really bad or for the future ice for a few minutes, and bandages overnight!
http://www.skins.net/ are supposed to be quite good for recovery - has anyone tried them?

Well I had quite sore legs this afternoon, having hiked up to the foot of the south side of the Meije. I am currently giving them the hot-bath-followed-by-lots-of-wine treatment. Working so far.

Very sore calves after Ben Nevis on Saturday. Got worse on Monday (DOMS), just about back to normal now. Forget the drugs just let nature work its magic. oh and keep moving even if only a little bit

Megamum, Just to zip right back on topic...was this soreness from skiing? With those muscle locations, you might be leaning too far backwards...just a thought...

I was going to say just that, but didn't dare! I have to work on not leaning back and, when I do lean back, that's exactly where I get pain.
