Yeah, nothing I crave more after running 5k than a tall glass of… milk? 🤮
Honestly maybe not after a long run but sometimes when I’m really dehydrated I legit crave milk
I regularly (weekly) run 25k runs. If I had milk afterwards, sure, I’d retain that fluid for longer, but I’d get all congested and start seeing spots in front of my eyes. I know this because I’ve involuntarily done it.
What works best is small sips of water every 2k or so after 10k, followed by a glass of water when I’m done to flush my system, followed by water with trace amounts of sugar, sodium and potassium added.
Binding water up in your stomach is totally useless for maintaining electrolyte and water levels in the body, even though it’s technically (temporarily) increasing fluid uptake.
When I was doing long distance runs, there was nothing more I wanted afterwards than some chocolate milk
