But I don't bike any more so what do I know?! Yes, mine mostly gone now. Took a full week though. And 2 x foam roller and stretch sessions, and 2 x easy runs. Back to a normal running week this week, hopefully. What caused you to not have DOMS Homer, do tell! G

HappyG(rrr) Jul 2019 8:43am, 15 Jul 2019 32,067 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) I do wonder if de-hydration exacerbates the muscle soreness? Interesting. Was a very muggy one a week ago and only cups for water. And though I drink water for Scotland, I was and can be dehydrated on a hot day for quite a while after. Hmmm. Ice, yes. Sitting on the sofa, probably less so! Nice though. G

I don't often ice but my achilles was a teeny bit niggly so I thought it would be worthwhile and it certainly can't hurt. It was a muggy day and I am fairly sure that hydration level makes a big difference.

Dvorak Oct 2022 8:04pm, 17 Oct 2022 26,061 posts	0 Dvorak I'm expecting DOMS after today's work. There's always a bit of lifting, but today I was mainly rebuilding pallets of booze into display units to Each one involved (as a team of two) moving 88 6x1 litre bottle cases (weight approx 10kg each) from the pallet to the unit. One lifted, the other rebuilt. We swapped around throughout. We also manually moved, using a pump truck, the finished units (weight approx 900kg) for collection by a fork truck, and sometimes also brought the pallets in manually.
