The chair of the Department of Nutrition and Diabetics at the University of North Florida said the journey to recovery is just getting started for those who crossed the finish line at the River Run -- and it begins with water.
The American Council on Exercise recommends drinking 16 ounces to 24 ounces of water per pound lost while running.
“A 15K -- some people may lose several pounds during the run. So that’s the rule of thumb about 16 to 24 ounces,” said Wright.“Rolling the muscles out, breaking up that the lactic acid. But rehydrating is going to help the body heal overall and turn that body temperature back to normal,” Wright emphasized.
It’s also important to refuel. Wright advises having a nutritious meal high in carbs and protein to help the body fully recover.
