Instructions: Select ONE option per meal. This endurance phase focuses on post-long-run recovery, maximizing angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and repairing micro-tears in connective tissue. It leverages high antioxidants, unique complex carbohydrates, and moderate fats to rebuild cellular membranes damaged during prolonged impact.
| Hydration: Consume 4–6 litres of fluid daily. Include tart cherry juice or electrolyte-infused water to actively manage Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
| Fats: Focus strictly on Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats (seeds, kefir, specific nuts) to lower exercise-induced inflammation while maintaining insulin sensitivity.
