Just got back from a long run of about an hour and a half.

*collapse*
*reanimate, pick up bottle of water, drain it down*
*refill bottle, drain it again*
*re-collapse*

Make sure to get some sugar in you. Your muscles need it to recover.

Sugar water (a.k.a. fruit juice) has been procured and is being devoured as we speak.

Good boy. Make sure to get potassium as well. With these longer runs now, you have to start thinking Gatorade. :)

I know, which means I need to plan these things better - the convenience store dowstairs doesn't have Gatorade in stock (not trendy enough I suppose).

Something to consider from a health oriented listserv:


If you're looking for an endurance aid, choose nutritious fruit juices over sugary sports drinks.

In a small study, people who drank a glucose, or sugar, drink before exercising experienced no greater enhancement of their endurance than people who drank fruit juice before exercising. And most fruit juices beat popular sports drinks hands down when it comes to nutrition.
