I'll keep that site in mind, I've never seen it before.

A site I've used is
HTML Code:
www.monstersupplements.com
- reasonable prices, a good selection and customer reviews to help you out too.

Also an energy drink is of a good help if i want to be in shape after long runnings.
I like milk shakes with fresh bananas.

Hi i can see what benefits drinking milk with it would be, but i think personally that would be far to filling for me, but good idea Hayley

Shakes

For calories and energy( cos I'm skinny) I make my own drink with low fat skimmed milk powder and skimmed milk. Costs about £1.30 a tub, makes about 4 shakes, is very low fat and gives you between 200 and 250 calories.

I'm a user of SIS Rego (a protein recovery drink)... have tried the chocolate and strawberry flavours but prefer the strawberry one. It appears to help with my recovery (though of course it cuold just be psychological). I have also used creatine from Holland & Barrett in the past, but I can't say I noticed any difference with that, but I have faith in science and i'm sure it was helping in some way or another!

I would certainly recommend a supplement drink though, your body needs all the nutrients it can get to recover from your runs and from what I'm sure I've read, if there's insufficient energy/protein/whatever taken on board the body starts to burn muscle? Surely not ideal!

For SIS rego, the website is http://www.scienceinsport.com/rego.htm. Not the cheapest, but I like it, and there's certainly more expensive! I've just invested in a 1.6kg tub which set me back £23.

SIS do quite a number of energy drinks, gels, bars, etc... I recently tried their 'Nocte' which is a nightime drink which is supposed to aid recovery and help you sleep better. I tried Vanilla which i have to say didn't taste too great (yet it was strangely kind of moreish!) and it made me have crazy dreams! (you know the sort where NOTHING makes sense?! lol)... i'd be interested to try the choccy one
