It's simple—hydration is a game-changer.
Dehydration can lead to:
-decreased endurance
-cramping
-impaired performance
-a trip to the med tent for an IV
Overhydration can lead to:
-bloating
-nausea
-hyponatremia (this can be deadly)
By tailoring your hydration plan based on accurate data from a sweat test, you'll ensure optimal fluid intake, electrolyte replenishment, and avoid the risks associated with imbalanced hydration.
"This sweat test was amazing info and I can’t thank you enough! I already bought those salt caps and used them on a 13 mi run this weekend and felt GREAT during and after my run. I bettered my time from the previous weekend on the same course with less effort expended. Maybe other factors at work as well but at least I’m sure the increased salt had something to do with it! Upped my hydration and carb intake as well. "

"I just did my bike sweat test, and boy do I sweat a lot. Looking back I do think this has been a big factor in my problems on race day. So challenging. I just used BASE salt and I had a much better ride this time. Thank you!"
