Morning Recovery Drink

March 10, 2011

My morning run is usually a 10 miler either on trails or roads – just a nice easy run. I do this run without any fuel so that my body becomes more efficient at converting fat into fuel. If you have glycogen (from sugar) available for fuel, your body will use it first. This is […]
