- Q What is the optimum post-exercise refuelling strategy?
- A Eating and drinking after exercise is extremely important to help your recovery and support the rebuilding process. The best thing to do is consume a glucose replacement drink within 15 minutes of finishing your session to begin replacing both fluid and fuel. Then, within two hours of your session, eat a more substantial meal containing complex carbohydrate for energy and protein for cellular repair. Tuna and pasta is an excellent combination - or if you're on the go, a tuna sandwich - because this contains 'slow release' carbohydrate and protein. Also, you'll need to re-hydrate - so washing your meal down with a glass or two of water will complete the picture.
