Congratulations you made it to the finish line of the Nike+ Human Race 10km. This is quite an achievement.

This article is to give you some pointers on how you can speed your recovery and what to expect post race.

COOL DOWN
After completing a running event it is recommended that athletes take an easy cool down jog and stretch to help flush by-products and loosen muscles. The Human Race presents a unique opportunity to dance the by-products out of your system at the post race concert featuring boys like girls. How fun!

EAT AND DRINK
It is recommended you eat within 30 minutes of finishing your event to replace carbohydrate burned during your race. It is also essential to rehydrate so drink up.

MASSAGE
Massage is a brilliant way to speed recovery and help relieve the common muscle aches associated with running. If you can get one at the race venue that is brilliant otherwise go and see your local massage therapist within 48 hours.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS
Now that you have achieved your goal and completed Human Race it is time to start thinking about your next running challenge. Singapore offers a number of running events so pick one, get training and have fun chasing your goals.
