Mrs Winkle Nov 2013 1:19pm, 19 Nov 2013 7,361 posts	0 Mrs Winkle I'm training for an ultramarathon and regularly run back to back long runs. No protein shakes, and I recover just fine. A bottle of Mars Milk and a peanut butter sandwich suits me.

F is for Fleecy Nov 2013 1:52pm, 19 Nov 2013 12,833 posts	0 F is for Fleecy I make milkshakes like Wobbling's after a long run when it's easier to drink something than eat something. I stick a few porridge oats in too. For Goodness Shakes are bloody disgusting unless you've done something hideous like Hellrunner! But if you can eat straight after a long run then just do that instead
Pootle Nov 2013 2:01pm, 19 Nov 2013 9,461 posts	0 Pootle I used to use them after a long run (16+ miles) simply because I knew I needed something in my stomach, but can't tollerate "real" food for a couple of hours after I've stopped. I now use Mars Bar milkshakes because they taste lush, and are so much nicer than the nasty SIS stuff I used to use, does the same job.

I've tried Goodness Shakes, but I was somewhat disturbed by the amount of sugar it contains. I forget the actual figure, but it seemed like a hell of a lot.
