1. Get warm + hydrate
Don’t stay cold and depleted. Change into dry clothes ASAP and start rehydrating with electrolytes.
2. Refuel with protein (+ carbs)
Your muscles just took a beating—give them what they need. I like Skratch Labs, and I’ve also been adding creatine to support recovery and strength. Don’t skip carbs here—they help replenish what you just burned.
3. Go to bed early
Sleep is where the real recovery happens. Prioritize it.
4. Next day: keep it light
Easy spin or movement in Zone 1/2 for ~45 minutes. Think circulation, not performance.
5. Keep moving (don’t just sit all day)
Light walks, mobility work, or just staying loose will help you feel better faster than being glued to the couch.
No magic tricks, just doing the basics really well.
Recover hard so you can get back after it
