In my final blog post in my series on nutrition I’m writing about what I do after a race or training session. See the previous posts on hydration, gels and solid food for the rest of the story.
When I’m home
The first question is am I at home and do I have milk in the fridge? If so, recovery shake.
The Tribe recovery shakes contain about 20g of protein.
If I am in the mood for a change, I sometimes buy one of the ready-to-drink shakes from Tesco. These contain 22g of protein, but that is less than Tribe once you factor in that I mix the Tribe shake powder with milk, which has its own protein.
When I’m not home
If I am at a race or at the pool, I go for a protein bar instead. I use the Tribe 10 bars which are named so because they contain 10g of protein. I get them in four different flavours and rotate around them.
After a race
Post-race is one of the few times I allow myself to indulge in a bag of crisps. Delicious salty crisps.
