Post-Run Recovery Tips Part 1: Hydration
I'm in the middle of my half-marathon training and getting into some pretty long runs on the weekend. After a long run or intense brick (back-to-back) triathlon training day, I have a routine of three things I do to help my body recover faster and prevent injury.

Part 1 - Post Run Hydration
Proper hydration after a long workout is key - and I'm not just talking about water. When you are burning 500-1000 calories at a time, you need to replenish your body quickly with easily digestible carbohydrates and protein to aid in muscle recovery.One of my favorite go-tos lately is a nutritional shake. I'm currently loving the ones by Orgain, especially the sweet vanilla bean flavor.

Similar: Gatorade G Series Protein Recovery Shake (which I used during my tri training)
It is also important to replace salt and electrolytes that leave your body when you sweat. I prefer replacing these with electrolyte enhanced water versus a sports drink (Gatorade, Powerade, etc).
Instead of purchasing cases of SmartWater, I use Nuun tablets.
Nuun are electrolyte enhanced drink tablets that dissolve in water. They have no sugar, calories or carbs and I just add them to my water bottle before or after my run. You can find them at any running store or buy in bulk online.
Best flavors: Tropical and Tri-Berry
