An Expert Guide to Running Nutrition

[1] Salmon

A good source of anti-inflammatory omega-3s which help soothe post-run aches and pains.

[2] Lean beef

A great protein food which is also high in iron, a nutrient that marathon runners are often low on.

[3] Wholegrains

Wholegrain carbs like whole-wheat pasta, quinoa, barley and wild rice. This is all fundamental for providing energy and recovery.

Combining wholegrain carbs with a lean source of protein (like chicken) before a long run can help increase energy (glycogen) stored in your body’s muscles.
