Are you leveling up outside of EQ? (fitness thread)

Came from a marathon runner, has anyone else done this or tried this on a long run.

Average Electrolytes Lost in 315 mL Sweat:
Sodium (mg): 220
Potassium (mg): 63
Calcium (mg): 18
Magnesium (mg): 8

Looks like your really have to crunch numbers to see if electrolyte replacement tablets are the best route vs just getting through diet and sports drinks. If you're running for 2-3 hours it's probably reasonable.

I'll usually just drink water during my long run, but will load up on electrolytes during the week and especially the day before. Before a marathon, I down a big jug of pedialyte the day before and another one a couple of hours before the race.

There are a number of electrolyte drink mixes that you should consume regularly if you're going to be sweating a ton during your workouts that I would recommend: UCAN Hydrate and Nuun Hydrating tablets.

Hit a wall that I'm slowly trying to climb over, seems 13.8km/h is going to take a while... had my 4th attempt at it today, got to 28 minutes but can't push on to the next challenge before I can run it for 35.

Might be stepping off my half marathon pedestal to do a 10k (6 mile) run this weekend, just because its local and easy to get to...plus I haven't done enough running outside.
