A big breakfast will only get you so far. If you’re going on a long run, you need to make sure that you load up on carbs before the race and fuel yourself with carbs along the way to improve your endurance capacity. One cup of chocolate milk has 22-27g of carbs and is a great way to kill two birds with one stone, hydrating and fuelling with carbs. Unlike other sports recovery drinks, two cups of chocolate milk also has 16g of protein, which is roughly equivalent to a scoop of pure whey protein powder. If you include the fact that chocolate milk has the minerals to replace your lost electrolytes and its calcium content, then chocolate milk really becomes an all in one solution for fuelling you up.
