What I love about Erin is that she is everything that a real runner really is.\xa0 So many people who are starting off say, oh I\u2019m not a real runner because I\u2019m not fast or skinny or experienced.\xa0 Erin is changing all of that and to be honest, she\u2019s the only running account that I want to follow right now.

I know you are going to love her as much as I do no matter what kind of runner you are.

When coaching endurance runners of all levels to be their best, I always emphasize the need for proper hydration with the right balance of electrolytes.\xa0 Most athletes I\u2019ve coached are surprised to learn that their sodium needs are actually much higher than they expected and it\u2019s been hurting their performance.\xa0

Part of the reason athletes need much more sodium than they think is not just because they lose electrolytes through their sweat, but also because athletes tend to eat very healthy diets.\xa0 They\u2019ve been told that salt is a bad thing in food and frequently don\u2019t get enough for their lifestyle.\xa0

Much of the science of sodium is based on people who eat highly processed diets which also are very low in potassium.\xa0 It could actually be the low potassium levels causing the issues that sodium has been blamed for!\xa0

What is clear is that both sodium and potassium at the proper levels are essential for high performance (and for life in general!).\xa0
