Yes, particularly after running so I drink my calories. I take a recovery drink and mix it when I'm finished and drink it straight away. It took trying a few to find one I didn't mind too much as they are not always particularly nice tasting. I get my appetite for solid food back about an hour after I finish.

I did just under 6 hilly offroad miles again today after work! I realised as I was setting off form my car that I was heading out on the same loop where my psoas started giving me trouble and sure enough it was in danger of cramping up in exactly the same part of the run this time. It is short downhill gradient on tarmac only about half a mile in. I think I am running a bit too fast as I wasn't properly warmed up, I slowed down in time and it only grumbled a little for the rest of the run. The light is fading fast though, 7pm and very gloomy, pah!

I will look through my training notes as I had problems with this before but managed to solve it, I bet it involves "core work"
