Just because your race or workout is over doesn't mean you're done. Recovering well takes work and this is how to rock it.
What you do after a workout or race will determine how you feel the next day and if you can train (or walk) the next day. Your post race nutrition plays a big roll in recovering well. We asked Ultraman athlete and triathlon coach, Andrea Guspie, to give us some pointers on rocking the recovery so that we're raring to go for another workout or race.
A lot of people who are just starting out with racing of any kind, plop themselves down on a couch after the workout pat themselves on the back. Then, they're surprised when they feel tired or have sore muscles later or the next day (or the day after that).
Replenishing your stocks is key to training successfully and recovering well after a race. Whether it's your very first try-a-tri or 10k or you're taking your racing to the next level with an Olympic distance triathlon, marathon or multi-day race, recovery will keep you going and make sure you not only make it to the finish line but make it to the start line! Having completed the multi-day Ultraman, Andrea knows what she's talking about.
This is the final video of a three-part video series from Andrea talking about fueling up before, during and after your race. While Andrea's expertise is in triathlon, this information is also good for any athlete especially those doing long distance running like marathons, trail running, adventure racing, hiking, skiing, or endurance cycling like a Granfondo.
