Recovering after racing

I've read that recovery takes a day per mile. I was searching on the internet for info about recovering and found an article that states recovery takes 4 to 6 days per hour. Using 5 days per hour for me seems about right after reading the article.

My example is my Afton 25K race on July 7th. On the 19th I posted that I was recovered from the race. That is 12 days later. Taking my race time of 2.33 hours multiplied by 5 rounds up to 12 days. It's right on.

Here is a like to the article: Recovery after Racing by Gale Bernhardt
