I've been thinking about recovery again as I begin ramping up miles after the winter slowdown. This thread also put recovery front and center in my thinking. Our club publishes a newsletter three times per year that has a guest column by a trainer or nutritionist. One recent newsletter by a nutritionist, as stated above, recommended tart cherry juice as an aid to recovery. I've not yet gotten around to trying this but will soon as I need all the help I can get.

I also do not take professional advice, especially medical advice, as gospel. I know of two misdiagnosis where the patient died of cancer, one in my own family. In my opinion the MD was so incompetent as to border on malpractice. Another recent example was the claim of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
