Can anyone please recommend how long after a run i should drink a protein shake. I'm interested in muscle recovery.

thanks,

Jan

Most people would suggest taking the protein shake within the first half hour after the workout, followed by a proper meal within two hours of the workout.

Thanks Grant, must admit i've been waiting approx 2 hours on average. Hopefully i'll get some benefit from drinking straight within the first half hour.

Indeed, the sooner you can consume it the better!

Yup. Same goes for your post-run chocolate.

not to mention the pre-run chocolate...
