I'm debunking running recovery 'hacks' (and recommending some that are actually backed by science)

Your run isn't finished when you hit 'stop' on your watch. In fact, that's when the real magic begins! ✨ We often think of recovery as collapsing on the sofa, but the best recovery is an *active* process. It's how you turn today's effort into tomorrow's strength and avoid those pesky injuries. One of the biggest game-changers? Refuelling in the 'golden window' – that first 30-60 minutes post-run. A simple snack with carbs and protein tells your body to start repairing and rebuilding, making you stronger for the next one. What's your non-negotiable recovery fuel? A banana? A protein shake? Let us know your go-to snack in the comments! 👇 #WhyRun #UKRunning #RunRecovery #RunningTips #SocialRunning #RunnerLife
