Recharge Your Muscles ASAP
Eating right after your race lap will keep you strong your next time out.

Want to get faster every lap during your next 24-hour race? Drink a bottle of recovery drink like Endurox immediately after you exchange the baton. Then refuel with real food within one hour of returning back to camp. The recovery drink will replace lost muscle glycogen (fuel) quickly and help limit muscle damage from all that hammering.
“The food will top off your fuel stores better than energy bars”
The food will top off your fuel stores better than energy bars because it tastes better and soothes your soul, so you’re more likely to eat more and go into your next lap with energy to burn.
