Refueling after runs and cycles
Still very much new to bikejoring (and canicross) started CaniX just under 2yrs ago but due to my own health problems unfortunately have been on and off with running. Started bikejoring a year ago, found it much kinder on my body while battling a flare up but luckily back on track now. That being said, we’re training for some races now!
Been running minimum 15km a week without struggle (so far) and cycling as we normally do and cycling minimum around 15km a week as we have been for around a year now. My girl is on raw food, keeping weight on nicely and is consistent in her weigh ins at hydrotherapy so she’s on track but as we’re looking into racing, our distances in the week will likely start increasing soon. I would just like to make sure I’m refuelling her appropriately after runs or cycles.
Just wondering if there’s anything I can add or a specific ‘treat’ to give her post exercise?
We currently feed 500g raw a day (she’s 23kg), additionally she gets raw salmon chunks once it twice a week, cottage cheese a couple times a week and also an egg added a few times a week too as well as her normal fruits and veggies. Her food is balanced, monitored by a veterinary nutritionist! She also gets other treats to help her settle at night such as fish skin chews, rabbit ears etc
I will be asking her veterinary nutritionist at some point but thought I’d reach out here first before I spend the money on an extra consultation.
