Little back story....
I used to play football(soccer) a lot when I was in college, I used to weigh 9 stone then, used to run forever. Fast forward to now and I now weigh 12 stone and havent played football for 4 years!
I have been attempting to work on my cardio by going on runs and playing football once a week. I have been running on a monday for about an hour and then playing football on a Thursday for over an hour.
After the first week of doing this my legs where so sore I was actually walking like a cripple. I thought this pain would get better after a few weeks.
I have now been doing this for over 8 weeks and my recovery time has not improved at all! I have had to stop running on the mondays just to make sure I have my legs for football on thursday!
More details..
I am 25 and eat around 3000 calories a day with around 190 grams of protein. After doing any sort of excersise I take Reflexs Growth matrix which I have found has improved my recovery somewhat.
My question : Is there anything else I can do to help improve my recovery? I really want to be running more than once a week but at the moment its taking me 7 days to recover!
Any help would be appriciated!
Thanks
