Refueling after a long run

I've just completed my weekly 15Km run. How long shall I wait before refueling with food again, and what shall I consume, carbs or protein rich food?

Obviously I don't know much about running, but from what I've heard you should eat carbs and proteins, go easy on the fats, and you should eat within an hour of completing the run for best results and rehabilitation.

What goes around comes around

 I would say you should wait an hour or two. You need to make sure you have protein in your diet but it's extremely important you eat food rich in

complex carbohydrates. The protein helps build muscle but during such a long run your body uses up its Glycogen storages and you need to replenish them. Eating candy won't do this in an effective way and that's why I stressed the word complex (Pasta, Whole grain bread...).
