Just the normal workout I'm trying to make a routine for Tuesdays. My main point of interest today was to see how the workout went after running a tempo run yesterday, and then to see how sore I get if I did an ice bath after the legs workout. Typically, I've only done ice baths after a long or strenuous run or bike ride. However, after a few legs and back sessions which ended in soreness that crept into the following Saturday (start to appear on Wednesday, be in full effect on thursday, start decreasing on Friday, and still some remnants on Saturday), I thought it'd be worth trying the ice bath trick. I guess it never really occured to me before, because while my legs feel fatigued after the workout, nothing else ever gave the impression that they were incredibly taxed until it was too late.
We'll see how it goes. I'd be very happy if I experience markedly reduced soreness. For one, it'd make me a little less nervous about Wednesday mid-week runs, and it make me feel better about doing a hard workout on Saturday. Even though I've managed to not have an issue with either of them so far, the more room for error I can give myself, the better.
