I am willing to try any shortcut to improve my running, so trying this new idea out was an easy one. I have been reading many reports including a study at the University of Indiana that chocolate milk is the one of the best post-run drinks, better than Gatorade. The idea is that you will get the same amount of carbs and water (milk is 90% water) as a sport drink plus protein to speed the recovery.

I do not normally drink Gatorade after every run, but maybe I should go for the chocolate milk after my medium to long runs (over 7 miles). How else am I going to make a cow look this happy??
