I have been running for nearly my entire adult life, it’s probably been about 28 years since I entered my first “fun run.” Since that time, I’ve run countless road, trail and obstacle races, at nearly every distance from one mile to 50 miles! Obviously, I love running – but, I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes it’s hard to love the run your with, especially when it’s a bonk.

Five years ago, I wrote a post on Fat and THEN carbs, latest in Pre-Race Nutrition for Marathon and Ultra.

There’s plenty of nutrition advice out there on what to eat and drink BEFORE and DURING a marathon to optimize performance. However, what you consume immediately AFTER a marathon, and over the next 24 to 48 hours, is equally as important — it plays a significant role in the recovery process.
