Do you suffer from cramping?

How hydration can help you improve performance and endurance

• Testing will enable us to help you personalise your hydration strategy for the event you’re training for. Here’s why that’s important…
• Everyone loses a different amount of sodium in their sweat, from as little as 200mg per litre of sweat to as much as 2,000mg/l!
• This is largely genetically determined. So, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to hydration just doesn’t work.
• Most electrolyte supplements contain 200-550mg of sodium per litre, whereas the average athlete loses about 950mg/l!
• Maintaining the sodium levels in your blood is crucial to performing at your best, especially over long endurance events.
• Sodium helps you absorb and retain fluid, which keeps your blood volume up, reducing cardiovascular strain, fatigue.
• It can also help you avoid cramp. (More on that here)
• Just drinking water when sweating over long periods dilutes your sodium levels, which can really impact your performance and could lead to hyponatremia. A recent study found 10% of athletes had hyponatremia at the end of an Ironman!
