Episode 132: Ryan Ignatz - What you don't know about electrolytes - and need to learn

Ryan Ignatz is an expert on electrolyte replacement and hydration, and can perform a Sweat Test to determine the exact amount of Sodium YOU lose when exercising.  Everyone is very different so this is important!  He tested me - what was the result??

"You lose 1,453mg of Sodium per liter of sweat.  You are a very salty sweater."

I rarely supplement my fluid intake with electrolytes. Does that mean I've been doing it wrong for 50 years?  Probably yes!  Aack!

The current wisdom is "Drink to thirst".  Is that good advice?

Description

The Petersfield Round is a roughly circular ~68km course around the picturesque market town of Petersfield in East Hampshire. The round is in the style of the Bob Graham in the Lake District and takes in 18 of the high points around the town and some of the best views in this part of the South Downs national park. This is an open course challenge, competitors can take any route they wish as long as they start and finish at Queen Elizabeth Country Park (QECP) and “summit” each of the peaks listed below. The majority of the peaks can be linked using beautiful trails rather than roads.
