Who said training for a race would be easy?
The first couple of weeks of marathon training are my hardest. The soreness and building up the endurance to be able to run long, it’s always a challenge for me. This week I was challenged, when my body needed much-needed recovery. It’s hard to rest when you feel like you have to train, but I knew that I had to rest and refuel.
Protein is the best way to fuel and help your body recover after a workout. When your body is sore, it’s screaming for rest and protein packed meals; that’s why I love Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Boosters because they are packed with all the protein and other nutritional benefits that my body needs in order to recover.
Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Boosters are vegan, gluten-free and loaded with probiotics. Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powders come in 4 delicious flavors for you to try. I really love the Chocolate flavor as well as the original flavor. You can find a really delicious Chocolate flavor recipe by visiting my previous Bob’s Red Mill post.
I not only drink a protein shake after a run, but also after my weight training days, when I need my body to recover much more quicker than usual.
