I realise i'm stating the obvious here, but since I've increased up to regular higher mileage and climb, doms have decreased dramatically.

The only race in the past 6 months i can recall that has really left me pole-axed the next day was the LDMT last weekend. Most other races (including Buttermere, Ennerdale, etc) I've certainly known about it, but been quite happy to head out the following day for a gentle run into the hills. Although this is confusing to me, because during the LDMT i was thinking how i wasn't feeling as physically stressed as in Ennerdale/Buttermere, but it hit me hard the following day.

When i first started i was struggling to get up and down stairs for a couple of days after races.
