Recovery tips for SA endurance athletes (Cape Epic, Comrades, Ironman)
22 September 2026
Training for the Cape Epic, Comrades or an Ironman is as much about recovery as it is about mileage.
The basics
- Sleep is your most powerful recovery tool.
- Replace fluids and electrolytes, especially in Highveld heat.
- Eat protein and carbohydrate after long sessions.
Supporting recovery
Bounce Back is formulated with electrolytes, B vitamins and glutathione to support replenishment. Creatine supports the body's own creatine production for strength and recovery.
Always follow your coach and medical advice — patches complement, never replace, proper fuelling. Results vary.
