Five quick and easy, highprotein postrun snacks to kickstart your recovery, from performance dietitian Renee Mcgregor

1. EGGS ON WHOLEGRAIN TOAST

‘An ideal source of protein and complex carbohydrate, to help replenish glycogen stores and prepare your body for your next training session.’

2. BIRCHER MUESLI

‘Again, a good source of carbs and protein, especially if made with Greek yoghurt. The dairy also helps you to work towards your daily calcium requirements.’

3. TOASTED BAGEL WITH NUT BUTTER AND BANANA

‘This is great if your run is high intensity or long (over 90 mins), as it ensures a good intake of carbs to rebuild your glycogen stores.’

4. MUESLI AND MILK

‘Milk is great, because it’s protein rich, easily digestible and taken into the muscles quickly, which helps to speed up that all-important recovery process.’

5. GREEK YOGHURT, FRUIT AND TOASTED NUTS

‘This is a slightly higher-protein breakfast – making it a good choice if your next hard training run is over 48 hours away.’
