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\'ve coached are surprised to learn that their sodium needs are actually much higher than they expected and it\'s 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\'ve been told that salt is a bad thing in food and frequently don\'t 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

When I race, I don\'t crave sweet, I crave salt and LMNT is the perfect way to hydrate and replenish the electrolytes I need to perform and feel my best.\\xa0
