Hey TrueZone Coaching friends! Today, we're going to talk about the importance of protein after a hard run. 

Protein is essential for runners because it helps repair and rebuild muscle tissue that gets broken down during intense workouts. Here's why you should prioritize protein intake after a tough run:

Muscle Recovery: Consuming protein after a run helps repair muscle damage and promotes muscle growth, ensuring you're ready for your next workout. 

Boosts Immune System: Adequate protein intake supports a healthy immune system, which is crucial for runners who put their bodies under stress during training. 

Reduces Fatigue: Protein helps reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing you to bounce back faster and maintain a consistent training schedule. 

Don't forget to refuel with a protein-rich snack or meal within 30-60 minutes after your run. Share your favorite post-run protein sources in the comments below! And remember to follow us for more running tips and advice. 

Happy running!
