Scott Cathcart | Triathlon Recovery: Techniques for Bouncing Back and Avoiding Overtraining
Triathlons push your body to its limits, combining swimming, cycling, and running in a single event. While this is an exhilarating challenge, prioritizing recovery is crucial to avoid overtraining and injury.

1. Nutrition is Key
Recovery starts with nutrition. After a race or intense training session, focus on replenishing glycogen stores, repairing muscle tissue, and rehydrating. Consider these nutrition tips:

Carbohydrates: Consume complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to restore glycogen levels.
Protein: Include lean protein sources like chicken, fish, or plant-based options to aid muscle repair.
Hydration: Rehydrate with water or electrolyte-rich beverages to replace lost fluids.
Recovery Shakes: Post-race recovery shakes can provide essential nutrients conveniently.
