How many endurolytes/salt tabs or whatever do people take in during a HIM. or…how many mg of each Na/K etc. do you shoot for. I have a HIM coming with really hot temps (90+ with high humidity). any help is appreciated.
At IMSG, I took one about every 30min, seemed to work well for me never cramped. It’s hard to get to many, you lose about 1200mg/ hour and a salt stick capsule has about 600mg which would make you even. But I was also drinking a bottle of Gatorade ever hour.

Do the sweat test to see your needs and dose accordingly. For the first hour of an aerobic workout I lose almost three lbs.
IMHO, you can never take in too much in the way of electrolytes. Better to be safe than sorry and so long as you’re also drinking water and some form of calorie drink, you should be fine.

Why are you taking them? What is the purpose?
to replace electrolytes…
