💪 Why Recovery Matters

Every long run, workout, or race breaks down muscle fibers and depletes glycogen stores. A high-quality recovery mix jumpstarts repair by restoring carbohydrates, protein, and electrolytes within the crucial first hour after training. It’s not just about feeling better — it’s about coming back stronger for your next session.

⚡ Clean, Effective Refueling

At Outside Running Co., we source only recovery formulas that use real ingredients — no artificial flavors, fillers, or synthetic sweeteners. Each mix is formulated with the optimal carb-to-protein ratio (3:1 or 4:1) to maximize glycogen replenishment and muscle repair.

• 🥛 Protein: plant-based or whey for muscle rebuilding
• 🍚 Carbohydrates: restore glycogen and energy levels
• 🧂 Electrolytes: replace sodium, potassium, and magnesium lost through sweat

🏃 Trusted Recovery Brands

🕒 When & How to Use

Mix one scoop (or packet) in 12–16 oz of water or milk and drink within 30–60 minutes after your workout. Add ice or blend with fruit for extra carbs and flavor. For longer endurance blocks or back-to-back training days, take a second half-serving a few hours later.

🥤 How It Compares

Unlike sugary protein powders or artificial sports drinks, our recovery mixes focus on real nutrition — the same approach that powers all of Outside Running Co.’s clean fueling options. No maltodextrin, no chemicals — just carbs, protein, and electrolytes your body actually recognizes.
