I tried 16k yesterday (with a separate 6k in the morning) and it's a bit niggly this morning...my question is, does anyone here have a similar injury and if so, how do you take care of it when you do a lot of exercise? Ice packs/hot packs? Are there supports that you use that you'd recommend? I can't take NSAIDs due to asthma but would want to avoid drugs anyway.

Thanks
