Sure, milk has carbs ... about 5gm per 100ml, which is quite a lot more than beer. I presume this is from the lactose... better stick to the beer, eh? Milk stout, anyone?
Even better then... failing to consume adequate carbs after running can lead to fatigue and muscle soreness. Although, I'd always thought it was the running that caused the fatigue and muscle soreness.
