You Just Finished a Race… Now What? (Recovery Nutrition Explained)|s6e13| Running Explained Podcast

What you do after a race can make or break your recovery. In this episode of The Running Explained Podcast, we sit down with sports dietitian Meg Mahoney to break down exactly what to eat after a race, how to recover faster, and why so many runners get post-race nutrition completely wrong. If you’ve ever finished a race and skipped eating, waited too long to refuel, or focused only on protein, this episode will change how you approach recovery. We cover the science behind glycogen depletion, hydration, muscle repair, and what your body actually needs in the first 30–60 minutes after finishing. Plus, we share real-world strategies you can actually follow on race day.
