Can I hit the hot tub after a long run? Wednesday February 27, 2008I get this question a lot from runners, and I always feel bad saying, “Don’t do it!” While the thought of soaking your tired and achy muscles in a hot bath or Jacuzzi is very tempting during the last few miles of a long run or race, it’s actually not helpful for your recovery. Find out why sitting in an ice bath is better than soaking in a hot tub.
