#dailymission Ice baths are great for sore muscles but I'm not sure if I like how that body part looks from shrinkage.

#dailymission I did try it after a marathon and ended up getting a cold the next day. I felt like total crap. Coincidence? I don't know but I'm not going to try it again.

#dailymission Ice baths....how I hate/love them. When I'm into training and my long runs are in the double digits I'll do them after the long run and for whatever reason it works for me.... read more

#dailymission ice bath?
I know this may be blasphemy around here, but I don't believe in them. Well, that's not exactly true. If you have inflammation or pain- then yes, it will help. ... read more9 people liked what Morey said-
I hate that I love the ice bath after a long run (or is that I love to hate it...) but the theory that I heard was the sudden contraction of your muscles from the ice bath flushes out all the lactic acids and then when you get out your muscles pull in a fresh blood supply. So as you said, you're increasing circulation. It took me a while to get used to them, and once I get running again it'll take time to readjust - but they work for me. I feel great later that day after an ice bath.
