SaltStick has helped endurance athletes compete at the highest levels for years, by making it easy to replace the full spectrum of electrolytes lost through sweat. Additionally, the hydration benefits provided by SaltStick products can assist patients suffering from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), who are pursuing exercise as part of their dysautonomia treatment.
“Replacing lost [water] stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone,” begins a 2007 article in Scientific American. “There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose.”
It is commonly understood that water and electrolytes are essential for maintaining peak performance in endurance events. We know that you are dutifully grabbing your sports drinks and mixes during your run and bike sessions, but did you know hydration practices are also crucial to long distance swimming?
We at SaltStick are privileged to support the amazing efforts of many endurance athletes. Every now and then, we like to share their stories with you, in the hopes that you can learn from them and become inspired to pursue your own fitness journey.
Did you know that SaltStick is sold all around the world? Like endurance sports, SaltStick enjoys widespread popularity in places ranging from South Africa to Central Europe.
Many athletes fall in love with triathlon because success is often directly correlated with hard work. SaltStick-sponsored athlete Drew Scott is no exception, and his triathlon story reminds athletes that in endurance sports, what matters is showing up and training hard.
Man or woman, simply winning an ultramarathon is impressive. The grit required to not only make it through 50 or 100 miles but also to do it faster than anyone else is mind-boggling.
Don’t let the cold, dreary months of February get you down. Even though you’re probably digging yourself out of the snow, suffering through sub-zero temperatures, or going on pitch-black runs in the evenings, there’s no reason the winter should cause you to lose sight of your race goals this summer.
As endurance junkies, we always enjoy hearing the stories of physical challenges undertaken by our customers or sponsored athletes.
