So, what do you do after a ride to ensure you recover as wel as you can?
In my case if Sunday's ride is anything to go by it's Kebab with some Naga Chilli pickle and a Beer - is this right???
[serious hat on] depends on the ride - enduro ride i.e. 50Km + - Usually plenty of fluid, Poss energy shake if I got one free, plenty of protein and carbs - steak and chips usually goes down nicely - alcohol makes me more sleepy and dehydrated 🙁 [/serious hat off]
pork vindaloo with double garlic naan and some scrumpy 😉
You'd do better with 10 pints of bitter, a packet of pork scratchings and a knee trembler.
pizza and beer seems to be far to regular an occurrence on the way back from a ride these days, plenty of carbs to refuel your muscles and throw on some meat and there's your protein to help repair them 🙂
After a big ride, anything I can find in the fridge followed by a sleep, followed by beer & curry
After our Thursday night rides I always have a couple of pints of Stella and everything in the pub that's salt & vinegar or pickled onion flavour.
I don't know why I have stella - it's the only time of the week I have lager instead of cask beer.
naga curry and beers for me 🙂
rego bannana flavour recovery drink/compression tights/stretch warmdown routine/sports massage/protein shake/complex carbohydrate meal with small amount of protein (fish or chicken) then sleep (wear compression tights in bed)
Hot Cross buns does it for me 😀
nice hot bath with a drop of dettal in it
then tea + jammie dodgers
Eating immediately after exercise is probably more important than exactly what you eat. I just eat whatever is at hand.
Bottle of chocolate milk, maybe a bit of food.
Irn-Bru
beer and a ciggy...
followed by a LARGE roast dinner
roast dinner after gt today.
2 pints of juice/water
hot shower/stretch
cool shower
whatever food is on the go
If it's a big one then choccy protein shake, then another one 2hrs later of before I go to bed - which ever come first.
A nice meal usually involving chicken, loads of veg and pasta or rice then some sleeps 😀
If it's a normal trail centre type ride, then whatever the service station/garage has in the way of Ginsters
