Allow your body time to recover after the big event. Don’t push yourself to get back to walking long distances straight away. Speed up your recovery with these tips to be ready for your next challenge.
Make sure you get a carb-heavy snack within 30-60 minutes after the event. It is important to take on carbohydrates along with protein. This will replenish your blood sugar, glycogen levels and muscle tissues, as well as aid a quicker re-covery.
It’s important to you rehydrate and replace all fluid lost over the course of the event. Plain water isn’t ideal as it stimulates high urine production. Drinks containing sodium help you retain fluids, stimulate thirst and absorb carbs. Ideally, you should consume 1.5 litres of fluid for each KG of body mass lost through sweat.
