Short little one milers can be the most effective sometimes Lee. Depends though really on how hard of a run your recovering from.Would you say even just a mile or less on off days can be effective?

Thanks Sid. If I can ever consistently run first thing in the morning, then pretty all my runs will be on an empty stomach. It's just weights where I feel best if I've eaten something first, but since I don't do really intensive strength-training these days, I can usually do my weights routine without eating first there too.Here's one more way that recovery runs might help (assuming that you don't carb back up after the first run).
Running on Empty: Boost your speed and endurance by skipping carbs
I unintentionally did a low carb run this morning and am feeling wiped. With my carb cycling, weekends are when I dine out with the wife and her family, then burn it off on Monday. Didn't dine out this weekend. Oops!
