Recipes to Refuel After A Run
One of the questions that I think I get asked most often is "what do you eat after you run/workout?". I always hesitate to answer this question because I know better than anyone else that everyone has their own dietary restrictions.

Plus it also depends on the intensity and duration of the workout. Maybe they can just ran 10 miles and can tolerate dairy. In that case, something like chocolate milk might make sense. Or maybe they just did a quick 2 mile recovery run, which would require little, if any replenishment.
