Salmon is great for runners because it is a high-quality protein, which aids in muscle repair, and its high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness. Additionally, salmon is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients are crucial for energy production, electrolyte balance, and joint health, all of which are vital for optimal running performance, injury prevention, and recovery. Incorporating salmon into your diet can enhance your running and exercise performance, and improve recovery after each run.
