Luna Sport Recovery
From an athletes perspective, recovery is one of the most important aspects of training. This includes stretching, rest, and proper supplementation. After my last race, my quads and hamstrings were in agony and my calves were screaming for help. The problem is that after intense training or exercise, your muscles are exhausted of all their nutrient stores and are waiting (usually impatiently) for refueling. This is where post-race supplementation comes in handy. A good post race strategy should consist of some quickly metabolized protein (such as whey protein), a carbohydrate or electrolyte drink (such as this one), and a recovery drink like LUNA Sport Recovery.
LUNA Sport Recovery is a fantastic product that I learned of after a friend handed me one after a tough half-marathon. The ingredients feature a little bit of protein, some B6, and Choline Chloride which all help the body recover after exercise but also folic acid, calcium, iron, B vitamins and antioxidant vitamins A, C and E. Although the supplement is listed as a women’s supplement, men can get just as good results from it!
Don’t be the guy or gal that can’t get out of bed the day after a long run because you didn’t help your body recover properly. Implement LUNA Sport Recovery into your recovery routine and you’ll find that a cold ice-bath and proper supplementation will help you recover faster and able to get back out on the roads (or trails) quickly.
