Diving into Sweat and Hydration with Andy Blow
Today we dive into sweat and hydration - two essential but often overlooked aspects to any athlete\u2019s training - with Andy Blow, the Co-Founder and CEO of Precision Hydration.\n\nAndy is a Sports Scientist with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Bath, UK. He\u2019s an expert in sweat (swexpert?), dehydration, and cramping, and previously worked as the Team Sports Scientist for the Benetton and Renault Formula 1 teams. In his younger days, he was an elite level triathlete and finished in the Top 10 of Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races. He even won an XTERRA Triathlon World Title!\n\nWe discussed a variety of topics including salty sweaters, hydration for endurance training sessions and races, dehydration and hyponatremia (over hydrating), the effects of having a beer before/after a race, and so much more.\n\nThis was a really fascinating and fun chat with Andy. You\u2019ll definitely learn a few things about hydration, and his tips will hopefully help you on your next swim, bike, run, walk, hike, workout, etc.\n\nI found it pretty cool that in addition to endurance athletes, Precision Hydration has also worked with the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL. Being an NBA fan myself (#ballislife), I couldn\u2019t miss this opportunity to ask Andy about hydration for NBA players!\n\nPrecision Hydration offers electrolyte supplements that match how you sweat, and have a variety of products that will benefit all levels of sweaters. I\u2019ve tried their stuff during my training sessions in the 90F & 90% humidity conditions of South Florida\u2026and they definitely WORK.\n\nTheir team was a delight to work with, and they were awesome enough to offer 15% off any of my listeners\u2019 entire first order off their site, precisionhydration.com. Just use the code TRIATHLETEBEAT at checkout. So cool - I have my very own coupon code! Go order something\u2026you won\u2019t regret it!\n\nI hope you enjoy the podcast!
