43g of carbs to nail your glycogen window, 14g of real dairy protein to trigger repair, tastes like creamy chocolate milk (because it actually is).
Recovery for endurance athletes. Not just protein powder in disguise.
Most recovery products get it wrong—too much protein, not enough carbs. If you've been told you need massive protein after training, you're following gym marketing, not endurance science.
Here's what actually happens: in the 30 minutes after exercise, your muscles are primed to absorb glucose faster than any other time. That glycogen window is where recovery happens. Carbs are urgent. Protein matters of course, but for more total daily intake, not immediate timing.
XACT Immediate Recovery is built around that reality.
The carb-first approach.
43g of carbs to maximize glycogen resynthesis while your muscles are still hungry for fuel. 14g of dairy protein to trigger muscle repair. Not the other way around.
Whole milk powder, not isolates.
Most recovery products use whey isolate alone, missing the full picture. We use whole milk powder, preserving both fast-digesting whey and slow-digesting casein, plus natural calcium. More Complete. Better Taste.
Electrolytes + calcium included.
440mg sodium, 550mg potassium, 400mg calcium. After hard effort, these are depleted. They're not afterthoughts, they're essential for fluid balance, muscle function, and bone health.
Ready in seconds.
One sachet. 275ml of cold water. Shake for 5 seconds. Tastes like creamy chocolate milk because it is milk...just optimized for what your body needs after effort.
Available in Chocolate and Vanilla-Caramel.

★★★★★PattiI needed a pair of VERY comfortable walking shoes for a series of VERY long walks I am doing in December. A friend recommended the store, I went, and was not disappointed. Cannot recommend this store highly enough.

★★★★★MorganJust had an incredible experience where I was helped by Greg who was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely welcoming. From the second I walked in, I felt like I was in the right place. The prices are excellent and the staff 10/10. Thanks for the amazing visit; I'll be back!

★★★★★RominaAfter searching for a long time, I finally found the right place to buy running stuff. Lynn, a runner herself, helped me find everything I wanted, and it is usually tough for me to find shoes. She also gave me helpful tips on running in the cold, and her kindness and warmth made my day.

★★★★★JustinWas looking for a pair of Endorphin Speeds & Found nothing locally in my size or colour. So bought online at The Runners Shop, purchased at 11:00 was shipped and received by Canada Post by 2:00 and arrived at my door at 10:00 the next morning. Shoes were perfect and I received a nice note!
