Experior - 2012-08-15 1:00 PM I'm curious what people are doing that requires all of this careful attention to 'recovery'?

I like to end every workout by riding my bike into a brick wall at speed.  The only setback is the recovery time.  Maybe some chocolate milk will help?

Bricks are really only good to learn pacing and what it will feel like to run on wobbly legs.  You really don't need to ride into a brick wall more than a few times in training to achieve those goals.  So take it easy on the bricks, OK?  But yeah, chocolate milk definitely helps in these situations.

You're supposed to carry them with you. You could switch in chocolate milk for the bricks.

Yes, I've seen where the whey protein can be alright. Definitely better than most that just say "protein". And I do actually use this at times. And maybe some of the other things, but more for convenience or a little variety. I have trouble handling a lot of foods, so need to supplement what I can have. Otherwise I'll go nuts eating so much of the same thing all the time. As I learn more, I'm putting in actual foods that work and reducing the supplement. Supplements aren't necessarily bad, it just works better to keep them to that definition. They supplement your primary sources of nutrition.

Something I have seen is the idea that some sources of proteins are not actually complete proteins. All meats are complete, but not necessarily so with fruits & vegetables. Very interested in what more researched here have to say on this. The idea is with the incomplete ones, it's necessary to complement them with something else. Cottage cheese & nuts I think was one example. Rice w/almonds or black beans? So if there is not enough of the protein for the body to use, then it could just pass it through in spite of that food being rated for 5g of protein (or whatever it has). Might explain how some foods don't seem to "work".

The supplement industry is rife with marketing hype

eat real food

ideally within 15 minutes of finishing your workout
