Recovery Guide for a Beginner Runner - 300 Meters Run

A beginner needs 7-9 minutes to recover properly. They should drink about 300ml of water and take an easy 8-minute walk to cool down. If they're doing multiple repeats, a small carb snack can help keep their energy up. Any excessive breathlessness or dizziness is a sign to take extra rest. Once they're breathing normally and feeling steady, they can return to their regular activities.
