Lozenges, Chews or Capsules: How to choose your electrolytes?

INTRODUCTION

The heat clings to the asphalt. After three hours in the saddle or 25km of running, a white film streaks the straps of your helmet and your jersey. It is the salt from your body evaporating. You see a gulp of fresh water, but a few minutes later, your legs still feel heavy and you are still thirsty. The mistake? You drank plain water and diluted your sodium. To perform without risking hyponatremia or collapse, hydration must follow the science. 



The 3 golden rules and of scientific hydration

The era of rigid water-volume targets is over: science now recommends drinking to thirst to avoid overhydration, while staying within the recommended range. But if water manages volume, sodium is what retains fluids and sustains performance. 

  • Before exercise: 2 to 3 hours before starting, consume approximately 7ml/kg of sodium-enriched fluid to saturate your reserves and stimulate thirst.
  • During exercise: For runs lasting more than 2 hours, aim for 300 to 600 mg of sodium per hour (from the start of exercise) to compensate for sweat losses and optimize absorption.
  • After exercise: Plain water is quickly excreted through diuresis. Sodium is needed to retain water and deeply rehydrate your cells.
