I generally follow a pretty low-carbohydrate diet but I do solemnly swear that Racer 5 is the best recovery drink ever after a 10K. After ordinary morning practice I go for water and a meal with pretty even proportions of carbohydrate, protein, and fat (e.g., full-fat yogurt with fruit and nuts, or hard-boiled eggs with cooked greens).
