Here are our top tips for saving money on post-workout – whether you’re running the London marathon or working out in your own way

Whether you’re taking part or working out in your own way, you can make savings with my low-cost, post-exercise refuelling ideas.

SPAGHETTI, SET, GO: Deliveroo and Italian fast-food chain Coco di Mama have got together to offer £5 off pasta dishes this weekend. Claim via the Deliveroo app using code RUNPASTA5.

Redeemable against any dishes on the menu, including the ham hock carbonara, slow-cooked bolognese, vegan lentil ragu and pesto spicy pollo.

COCO CRAZY: Electrolyte drinks can replace salts lost during a run. Coconut water is a great option, and while one litre of Vita Coco will set you back £3.50 at Sainsbury’s, the same volume of Asda’s UFC Refresh coconut water (usually found in the World Foods aisle) is half the price at just £1.75.

GO NUTS: Who doesn’t love peanut butter? It’s a delicious and healthy post-workout snack. ManiLife’s one is my favourite and it has just added a delightful rich cocoa smooth peanut butter, RRP £3.99, to its range.

However, Asda now does a 700g tub of its crunchy own-brand one for £1.89, which is a steal — and goes a long, long way. You can also get 280g Meridian peanut butter for £1.25, down from £2.50, at Tesco with a Clubcard.

SWEET FINISH: Head over to theproteinworks.com to pick up a box of 12 protein cookies that contain a huge 18g of protein in each one. That should help if you’re going on a run or have just done one. They’re reduced from £23.99 per box to £19.19.

Download The Sun Cashback app and you’ll get five per cent back on your order, so why not stock up on the whey protein powder too — £15.99 down from £31.99 for 600g. That’s a £16 saving and your five per cent cashback on top. Result.

Prices correct at time of going to press. Deals and offers subject to availability.
