    Self-myofascial release, or SMR, is what you should be doing. Get a foam roller for your larger muscles, and a lacrosse or tennis ball to work out any small, tight knots. I try to do this every night that I lift, while watching TV, but it's probably better to do right after you work out if possible.

    ^^^Epsom salt baths! Also, please do yoga (basic is fine) to stretch/relax muscles.

    Ibuprofen gets me through a shift when my body is aching from a workout.

    Your muscles are aching because of a build up of lactic acid. That is the result of working your muscles harder than your body can deliver energy through oxygen. When that happens your muscles generate energy anaerobically. A byproduct of that anaerobic energy generation is lactic acid build up and muscle soreness. Aspirin or Ibuprofen will help.

    But, the key is to train again in a couple of days to at least the same level as you just did. This will build anaerobic conditioning which will allow you to train even more. Just do it a little bit more each time. You will get stronger/faster over time. You will have more endurance too. I like to mix anaerobic training and aerobic training days. That is a hard fast day, followed by a slower but much longer day. For example: Day one three sets of four 300 meter sprints at 800 meter race pace broken up with a two minute recovery between sets. On day two, a long run, for me that is six to ten miles. The long run is usually at my half marathon race pace. You can do the same thing in a gym. Lift weights and do sprints one day. Swim or run laps at a longer pace the next. (For the record, I run indoor track only when forced to, and usually only the 55 hurdles, 200m or 500m. Beyond 500m and I start hating my life and all around me. Others with more patience may be able to run miles indoor. I do run on my treadmill at home over longer distances. But, that's with the TV on or some good tunes on my ipod.)
