TRAINING + 30’ | Drink a protein shake with milk with 1/3 of body weight in grams of carbs (ex: 75kgs = 25g carbs) |
TRAINING + 60’ | Have a healthy balanced meal that has carbs & protein.Avoid fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol (they slow recovery down)
Take your multi vitamins with 2 full glasses of water (fish oil, Q10, Magnesium and Multi-vitamins) |

TRAINING + 160’ | Stretch for at least 45’ & drink an Protein/carbs solution (10ml x body weight – ex: 10ml x 75kgs = 750ml) |
TRAINING + 210’ | Put Compressport socks/ full length tights on and have a 40’ nap with elevated feet if possible so you get ready for your next training.Or go to bed if late PM training set |
TRAINING + 240’ | If you can’t sleep because your heart rate is still high from training. Have a chamomile tea with honey or take a natural sleeping supplement |
