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

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

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

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!
