Remember your Recovery nutrition as a cyclist
Are you nailing your recovery nutrition as a cyclist?
Remember the four R's for recovery nutrition when considering what you eat or drink after riding your bike:
🍞 Restore your glycogen with carbohydrates.
💪🏻Rebuild and repair your muscles with protein
🧃Rehydrate and replace sweat and electrolyte losses with fluids
🫐Revitalise and enhance recovery with antioxidant rich fruits and vege
As a general guide I recommend cyclists aim to refuel within 30 min of their training session.
Real food is always preferable, but smoothies and shakes have their place for convenience when appetite is low and time is short.
