Hydration

Wear loose-long sleeve shirts if outdoors, light colors for pants, get some field pants .. lighter material than denim jeans. And if you look online, some fabric is designed for hot conditions. Bamboo is good in the heat. Get a wide- brimmed hat. I work outside for my career and have for 20+ years.

After any hard workout (tempo run, long run) I am puffy - the best indicator to me is how my rings fit after my workout is finished. Hydration has been a huge factor, and I started incorporating LMNT in my water for tempo runs, because losing sodium makes me bloat (so counterintuitive). So maybe exp

I was kinda in the same “it works so why change it” mindset for a long time. Then last summer my calves started doing this weird twitchy thing like 2–3hrs into a ride. Thought it was a salt thing but nope… ended up being mag. I went through a bunch of mixes people keep mentioning here. LMNT was just

I take a Nuun Sport Hydration tablet everyday, I find it a bit more potent and can tolerate the lemon/lime flavour for some reason (since I can’t go near an actual lemon or actual lime). Also Evian water makes me feel great and alert like I feel after an electrolyte tablet. I think it must be the sp

I've not.done this ride, but done plenty of 500k rides. I like to eat real food every 50 miles, soft taco shell w/salami, cheddar cheese sliced and stadium mustard. Or little b sized potatoes, sauteed in a shit ton of butter and heavily salted, 10 to a snack sized Ziploc bag, or pb&j but made on a h

I have an ileostomy and used to get dehydrated, but now manage it at home. The first step is to determine how much output she has and its consistency. If it is more than 1.5-2 litres per day and very watery, this would explain why she is getting dehydrated. Examining and measuring urine is also impo

nuun vitamins has b12 and is fizzy but some flavors are kinda meh. skratch labs hydration is good for electrolytes, though you'd need seperate b12. Energy Bits is intresting if you want bioavailable protein and algae nootropics instead of traditional drinks.

Propel is one that a lot of people in the community go for I find. My favourite is Skratch Labs Hydration Sport Drink Mix in the lemon lime flavour, but I've cycled through a lot over the years and my taste buds have changed. I quite like hydralyte as well. Either the tablets or the powder. I know a

that is in fact the right answer (I am a mostly local shopper) except that my LRS doesn't have a huge selection of brands and no skratch.. but just saw that they have UCAN which seems like could be a good fit for general hydration (I like jars/bags i scoop from rather than single serve packaging and

I used to swear by Liquid IV and drank 4 packets of it daily! Unfortunately, it has a high B6 and B12 content, and I actually became toxic with both of those levels, because my body doesn’t know how to pee excess out. 😅 I also really like the raspberry flavor of LMNT; this one is pricey, though. Nuu
