I wanted to know if anyone takes supplement drinks, im not a big eater and dont think i eat enough for the running i do, so someone advised me to take a protein/carb shake on days that i run but wasnt to sure about this. If anyone has any ideas advice please let me know thanks h

I take a Protein shake after long runs and races.

Seems to help my recovery,but it could just be in my head.........

Same as Dave, I take Protein shake after a run. I also take a creatine drink about 1/2 hour before runs as it feeds your muscles while you run.

I often drink a chocmalt forgoodness shake after a long run - its about 300 calories and less than 3% fat.

I quite like the EAS Myoplex drinks - you can buy them pre-mixed or as ready to mix powder. I've only tried the strawberry or vanilla ones and haven't had any problems with them.
