Post-Race Recovery: What to Do After the Finish Line

[VO2Commander]

Crossing the finish line is just the beginning of recovery.
Immediate post-race recovery:

• Refuel with carbohydrates and protein quickly.
• Rehydrate with water and electrolytes.
• Light active recovery (walk around).
• Elevate legs if possible to aid blood flow.
• Get adequate sleep in the days following.

"Celebrate the effort, then prioritize recovery."
