THE SCIENCE BEHIND SUB:3 POST-RUN FUEL
SPEEDS UP RECOVERY BY UP TO 38%
A 3:1 carbohydrate–protein blend replenishes muscle glycogen approximately 38% faster over 4 hours post-exercise compared to carbohydrate alone.
Ivy JL & Katch FI, Journal of Sports Science (2004)
BOOSTS NEXT-DAY ENDURANCE BY ~27 %
A 3:1 carb-protein drink post-exercise enhances next-day endurance by about 27%, significantly increasing time-to-exhaustion compared to carbs alone.
STIMULATES MUSCLE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS FOR REPAIR
Post-exercise whey protein combined with carbs significantly stimulates muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle breakdown compared to carbohydrate alone.
Tipton KD, et al., American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism (1999)
REDUCES MUSCLE SORENESS AND IMPROVES RECOVERY
Magnesium supplementation significantly reduces muscle soreness and can help mitigate inflammation and support muscle relaxation, particularly after long runs or races.
Tarsitano MG et al., Journal of Translational Medicine (2024)
IMPROVES REHYDRATION AND ELECTROLYTE RECOVERY
Beverages containing sodium significantly enhance rehydration, promoting about 32% greater fluid retention post-exercise compared to plain water.
REDUCES MUSCLE DAMAGE AND SORENESS
Whey protein post-exercise significantly reduces muscle damage markers and soreness compared to placebo, aiding faster recovery and improved subsequent performance.

Trusted by Elite Runners
SUB:3 Post-Run Recovery is part of the daily routine for Australia’s fastest marathoners. With a science-backed 3:1 carb-to-protein formula and key electrolytes, it’s how our ambassadors repair stronger and bounce back faster—so they can keep showing up, day after day.
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE ASKING?
When should I take SUB:3 Post-Run Recovery?
To maximise the benefits, take SUB:3 Post-Run Recovery within 30 minutes of finishing your run. This is known as the “glycogen window”, a period when your muscles are most primed to absorb nutrients, rebuild glycogen, and kickstart repair. The sooner you refuel, the faster you recover.
How can I get more protein in my recovery?
SUB:3 Post-Run Recovery is formulated with a 3:1 ratio of fast-digesting carbs to high-quality whey protein isolate delivering up to 15g of protein per standard serve. If your training demands a higher intake (e.g. post-long run, double session days, or heavier athletes), you can simply double the serve to reach 30g of protein and over 90g of recovery carbs — while still maintaining the optimal ratio for endurance recovery. It’s a flexible system that adapts to your load.
Is this product only for long runs or races?
Not at all. SUB:3 Post-Run Recovery is built for any session that breaks you down—whether that’s a long run, intervals, hill sprints, a tempo block, or even a strength workout. If the session was hard, your recovery should be smart. This formula helps you bounce back stronger, no matter the distance.
What is whey protein isolate—and why do we use it?
Whey protein isolate is the gold standard for endurance recovery. It’s fast-absorbing, ultra-filtered, and high in leucine—an amino acid essential for muscle repair. Compared to regular whey or plant proteins, isolate is lighter on the gut and gets to work faster. No bloat. No fillers. Just results.
Is SUB3 approved for competitive athletes?
Yes. SUB3® is independently tested for banned substances to ensure it meets the highest standards of safety and compliance. We understand the importance of clean sport, which is why we take rigorous steps to verify that our products are safe for use by tested athletes.
