Recovery Guide for the Average Woman - 100 Meters Run

A male runner usually needs 1-3 minutes of recovery time. He should drink 200-300ml of water and do a quick 3-minute active cool-down. Given the typically higher muscle mass, keeping moving during recovery helps maintain good muscle temperature. While no special nutrition is needed, extra attention to hydration often helps, as men tend to sweat more. Once the cool-down is done, he can jump back into normal activities.
