NUTRITION POST ENDURANCE TRAINING – TWO RECIPES FOR EVERYONE

Post workout nutrition and hydration play a fundamental role during the recovery of an athlete. The intake of food and liquids must be as quickly as possible, between 30mn and 70mn after the end of the training to ensure maximum effectiveness. When you travel by car to train for trail running, it can be complicated, but in fact you just have to prepare an easy-to-carry snack. Attention, however, it must contain everything that your body needs to ensure a good recovery. We propose you two easy recipes with all quantities calculated for 2 athletes respectively of 70kg and 60kg of weight.
