🏃‍♀️ With the Rhode Races around the corner, recovery matters just as much as the run.

You crossed the finish line—now what?

Proper post-race care is key to avoiding injury and getting back to training safely.

💡 After your race:

*Rehydrate and refuel
*Keep moving with light walking or stretching
*Listen to your body over the next 24–48 hours

⚠️ Watch for warning signs:

*Persistent or worsening pain
*Swelling that doesn’t improve
*Sharp or localized discomfort
*Difficulty bearing weight

If something doesn’t feel right, it may be time to get checked by a medical professional.

📅 Newport – 4/18
