Liquid IV is mostly sugar which makes it less great as hydration in my opinion

Just water doesn’t help when I’ve lost so much salt sweating. But water usually.

Liquid IV/Nuun for most runs. The better stuff is like Skratch, Gnarly/Tailwind

There are myriad sports and hydration options. They differ on amounts of sugar

I've read recently that milk is the best.

Liquid IV is the gold standard. Given you’re running that much, I wouldn’t be

Easy. ReLyte. Excellent stuff. More and more BYU teams are adopting it

save some money and just buy redmond sea salt. Same stuff.

dryflyelk

It is owned by Redmond, and the salt comes from the mines down in Redmond

I'm yet to try anything that beats Nuun tablets.

I use these as well. Gatorlyte works well, also - but lots of sugar.

Gatorlyte tastes horrible.

When do you drink it? Before? During? Both?

Depends on the circumstances. For everyday training, usually one in the morning

Excellent response. Thank you for taking the time!
