Should you take whey protein before running and after running?
Needahand
Never take it before running cause the lactose (whey) in protein is bad for your knees and can ruin your knees if you run with it in your system, plus a heavy substance in your system when running will make you feel sick. Take it afterwards when your body is looking for protein to rebuild the muscles and since usually people dont feel like eating right after cardio workout, protein with water or shake will be easier on your stomach.
IMPROVED ANSWER:
What?
Rest assured, taking whey protein will in no way ever "ruin your knees." Furthermore, there is very little lactose in most whey mixtures, and none at all in a whey isolate mixture.
Additionally, whey is not a "heavy substance" that will make you feel sick if you ingest it before running. However, it is true that whey is best eaten after a hard workout to help re-fuel your muscles. Even so, if you want to drink a whey shake before a run, help yourself. Your body will use the portein either way.

∙ 12y agoMy friend, body builder, told em you can take them when ever but mostly twice a day, 6 hours apart. In the morning and then during the day, deff not before you go to sleep.
I asked him if I should take it before or after my work out and running & he basicly what ever you want. For example; he takes thme after his work out because before it makes him sick. He told me to try and see what ever works out best for me.
So I can advice to you, is definitely take it in the mornings & then try and see if before or after running works better for you; it depends on the individual.

∙ 12y agoIt can be, if you want to build muscle. If you are training your leg muscles, taking whey protein after cardio exercise will help to rebuild and strengthen muscle tissue. But if you are trying to lose weight, then there isn't really much point. So it really depends on what your goals are.

∙ 11y agoyes you should. but you will not need a large amount like you would when you are doing weight training, maybe around 10-15g Protein should be enough. however i recommend focusing on taking more carbohydrates after cardio training rather than protein, because your body is glycogen depleted after a cardio session
