To help your body recover after a tough run, it’s important to refuel with the right nutrients and plenty of fluids.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:

• Weigh yourself before and after a run to see how much fluid you’ve lost.
• Drink 1 1/2 times the amount of fluid lost on a run.
• Within 30 minutes of finishing your run, eat a high-carbohydrate, nutritious snack.
• Fruit and vegetable drinks, sports drinks, chocolate milk and smoothies are great ways to rehydrate and refuel after a run.
