I use Liquid IV before and after long runs.

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.

I read recently milk is the worst

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

squidmark

Yep. Good stuff.

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.

Mar 6, 2:23pm

Gatorlyte tastes horrible.

LMNT — stuff has worked wonders for my kids and me during training and racing

Buckeye

Mar 6, 12:21pm

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

Marvelous

Mar 7, 7:59am

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

Buckeye

Excellent response. Thank you for taking the time!

My pleasure. And yeah, I don't think I could live without my massage gun!
