Frobester Nov 2013 3:05pm, 19 Nov 2013 24,208 posts	0 Frobester I used FGS too, and believed they were doing me good, so as a placebo they worked just fine. I never thought of myself as special, though... I've run out of FGS now though and to be honest a cheese roll, cupcake and big mug of tea works just fine.
Phil70 Nov 2013 7:04pm, 19 Nov 2013 251 posts	0 Phil70 I only have a chocolate FGS after my final long run and after a marathon itself. Tried other flavours but they didn't quite taste as good. As I do most of my runs early in the morning, my post-run drink tends to be a cup of tea/coffee with my breakfast.

minardi. Nov 2013 11:19am, 20 Nov 2013 2,085 posts	0 minardi. Asda Chocolate Milk works for me - price-wise and postrun treat And the Yahoo banana flavour when on special offer. don't know if they add anything to the running but it's something to look forward to at the end of a long run

ReturnoftheJuddi Nov 2013 12:20pm, 20 Nov 2013 2,277 posts	0 ReturnoftheJuddi Glass of milk for me. If Im hungry, maybe a tin of tuna/boiled egg as something to eat immediately before showering to get some more protein. Then I'll tend to drink water/squash and eat some more grub with a better protein/carb balance.
