Intro

This is a quick summary of How I’m Feeling Post Hardrock 100 - 34 Hour Finish from Run Steep Get High. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the recovery routine today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

After a 34‑hour Hardrock 100, the biggest priority is rest and gentle movement to let the IT band and overall fatigue recover.
Coach‑designed week focuses on short, low‑impact sessions (hike, bike, easy runs) with ample full rest days.
The plan is flexible – you can adjust the durations to match your own fitness level or use the Pacing app to customize the paces.

Workout Example (Post‑Hardrock Recovery Week)

Day	Activity	Duration	Intensity
Monday	Easy hike (outside)	30 min	Very easy, just get the legs moving
Tuesday	Rest	–	Complete recovery
Wednesday	Recovery bike ride	30 min	Light cruising, flat terrain
Thursday	Rest	–	Complete recovery
Friday	Easy run	20‑30 min	Easy conversational pace
Saturday	Rest	–	Complete recovery
Sunday	Easy run	30 min	Easy conversational pace

Next week preview – 45‑minute easy run on Monday, 1‑hour easy bike on Tuesday, rest Wednesday, then transition into the Tushers mountain runs.

Practical Tips

Keep the intensity low; think “just moving” rather than “training hard.”
Use flip‑flops or easy shoes for the hike to let the feet breathe.
Monitor your IT band; if pain spikes, add another rest day.
Log each session in the Pacing app so you can see how your recovery progresses and tweak the times as needed.

Closing Note

Give this gentle recovery schedule a try and feel free to tweak the lengths to suit your own pacing. Your body will thank you, and you’ll be ready for the next training block. Happy recovering, and see you on the trails!
