Dear Reader

After a long training run, it’s easy to rush straight into the next thing ... shower, scroll, family, work and forget one of the most important parts of your training plan: recovery.

Poor recovery can leave you drained, stiff, or heavy-legged. But when you prioritise it through rest, good sleep, and smart post-run nutrition — you’ll bounce back stronger, more energised, and ready to perform at your best.

In my latest post, I explore why post-run nutrition deserves your attention, including:

🏃‍♀️ The signs your recovery needs more focus
🥚 The 4 R’s of recovery nutrition — Rehydrate, Refuel, Repair, Replenish
🍓 Simple meal and snack ideas for smooth recovery
🍫 How to tell the difference between recovery food and post-run treats

A little thought now can save you a lot of fatigue later.
