Hi, I've just got in through the ballot and this will be my first time running a marathon and doing running other than pre season through football! My question is when I do any weight workout I take a protein shake with either milk or water straight after training.Do any of you take protein shakes or what do you have straight after your runs? Thanks in advance.

Chocolate milk
+1. No need for anything else.
coconut milk with frozen berries and a scoop of vanilla whey powder..... (only if too late to have a proper dinner).
YUM!
(because I hate milk - otherwise yeah chocolate milk is great)
Plain milk for me too
You could always just have your dinner. Real food is usually the best thing.
Chocolate milk for me - Tesco 2 for £2. Used to use For Goodness Shakes - very nice especially vanilla but got a bit expensive, I think the ratio should be 3 to 1 carbs to protein.
Never have protein shakes and hate milk, but I do cope with alpro soya chocolate milk occasionally and also have coconut milk and also coconut water (as long as it's cold).
Chcolate milk here as well, after long runs.
Milk shakes have everything you need and cost a lot less than some of the recovery drinks on the market. Most of them taste better as well
2 for £2? How many calories are there in one bottle? 1000 kcals?
My entire days food today came to £1.73, which I thought was rather extravagant, as most days I eat for less than £1.
Water.
Water and salt.
Water salt and sugar.
Milk
Depends on distance run, pace, weather, what is aching. Milk for aching legs, Salt to replace that loss through sweating and stop any lightheadness. The sugar is for taste.
Usually water with a rehydration tablet (High 5 Zero), but occasionally i'll make up a milk and banana smoothie.
Pint of milk, 1 banana, ice cubes, vanilla essence, pinch of salt, some brown sugar and sometimes a big slug of baileys. Mix all together in a hand blender. Lovely.
