ORS

Anecdotal, for sure, but I have ran, crewed and volunteered in some of the hottest, humid conditions on the planet and the idea that we don't need electrolyte supplementation seems a bit absurd to me. I think people overdo it, of course, and people think it's a cure all for insufficient fueling, hea

1000% start miralax and electrolytes if you haven't already! That made the biggest difference with my discomfort and fatigue hands down. Aim for electrolytes that are higher in potassium rather than just sodium - DripDrop was great. Smaller meals more frequently were also way better than a few large

LMNT or Drip Drop for longer runs. Nuun is fine for shorter distances. Most people overthink this though. For runs under an hour, water is usually enough unless you're a heavy sweater or it's very hot. Electrolytes matter more for 90+ minute efforts.

So not all have the same levels of required minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium something I learnt way later in life than I should have. Usually electrolytes help with muscles and nerves, and is not needed daily if you ain't sweating a lot. It's only noticeable when low levels cause cramps
