What is a typical recovery drink for long-distance runners?

  • Soda

  • Water

  • Beer

  • Milkshake

Answer

Water is the primary choice for rehydration after long-distance runs, as it efficiently replenishes fluid levels and electrolytes lost through sweat. However, for intense or prolonged sessions lasting over an hour, a sports drink may be beneficial. These drinks often contain carbohydrates to replenish energy stores and electrolytes like sodium and potassium to support muscle function and fluid balance.
