I use Endurox after my workouts and find it helps my recovery better than plain water. The taste needs getting use to and I recomend fruit punch. I have heard that GI upset can be a minor problem, so dont try it for the first time at a big meet.

There's a post on another forum, CoolRunning, that's all about chocolate milk, some say it compares to Endurox. I use chocolate milk myself, Ovaltene (sp).

I use a line of products made by advocare---they really work. There line of sports performance drinks, etc. really do make a difference.

My vote is for either an omelette and bloody mary or pizza and beer - depending if it's a morning workout or evening workout.:)

I have and they DO work. However, I suggest that you get a copy of Ed(mund) Burke's book "Optimal Muscle Performance and Recovery" Ed was a friend of mine (he died in 2003 while on a cycling training ride) and THE expert in this field. Well worth the read and you can get it at Amazon.com for around $5.00. -LBJ

Beth, When I was training heavily for long races, I used Endurox and was very happy with my recovery between workouts. My other recovery drink of choice was liquid Tylenol. And one other note – since the Endurox contains 280 calories per 12 ounce serving, I would typically only take it during heavy training. All sorts of Endurox propaganda can be found at www.enduroxr4.com

I've heard good things about Endurox but haven't used it personally.

If chocolate milk is good, cafe mocha must be better!
