  • Welcome to the first video in our new partnership series with Precision Hydration, where we’ll be looking at hydration and fuelling strategies that can help runners perform at their best
    in training and races.
    When it comes to hydration for runners, there's a lot of tips and advice out there. Not to mention more than a few myths. In this video, we speak to sports scientist and PH co-founder Andy Blow, to get into the dos and don’ts of good hydration.
    So whether you're hoping to hit your next parkrun ready to run at your best, you're wondering how to approach an upcoming marathon, or maybe even a trickier hydration challenge like the Marathon des Sables, hit play to hear how you can create a winning hydration strategy.

    Fantastic info. I was planning to run my first 10k without carrying water and this has confirmed it.

    Great video. I love people who are generous with their information. An authentic and informative watch. PH seems like a great company. I have already used their salt tablets for my 1st 50km race on the hottest day of the year about a month ago. All went well.

    Great video; can’t wait to see more videos on this topic, and also on other topics using a similarly in-depth approach.
    On an unrelated note, did Andy get the ‘high stress impacting your recovery’ pop-up on his Garmin at 28:18? I’ve had that occur when giving presentations myself 😂

      300 mg K + 200 mg Na mid long run. Works wonders for me. And of course electrolytes drinks pre and post workout.......

    Very interesting topic, I have definitely over hydrated in longer runs. I recall doing a 3/4 marathon with my brother in 2019, he would be much younger, fitter and lighter than me. He lost a huge amount of salt visible on his head. I didn't notice anything on me. Would be interested in getting the PH salt test and seeing what suits me.

  • @hummuswithpitta
    @hummuswithpitta 2 роки тому +2

    Great video. I sweat like mad in both the hot and cold, and there's often enough salt deposits on my face afterwards to go on my chips. I also tend to suffer migraines after running. It took me about 3 years to think about electrolytes, and started having a post-workout glass of water with electrolytes powder mixed in and magically the migraines stopped (99% of the time anyway). Is this something the PH team have looked into or have come across? I'll probably look into their salt tablets for my longer 2+ hour runs, when I probably shouldn't wait until getting home for that intake. Cheers

    • @andyblow1624
      @andyblow1624 2 роки тому +1

      We get a hell of a lot of emails from people citing improved recovery and less headaches or migraines when they get their electrolyte and fluid intake more dialled in during and immediately after long runs. I 100% agree that doing so during the run and not just relying on topping up after is a good idea.

    Fantastic vlog. Really interesting. Thank you Run Testers and Andy. My wife really suffers from bad migraines after runs. Her runs are no more than 1 hour and it’s really affecting her confidence and stopping her running. What is happening and how can it be rectified?

    Really enjoyed this chat 👍 I have the PH products and really enjoyed the powders and tablets with a big bottle of water on a long run, only slight doubt I have now is what to do for the marathon, as I can’t take the tabs with me, though I have the capsules so hoping to combine those with water alongside the usual gels. Do you think the capsules will have the same effect as the tablets/powders? Going to experiment on Sunday

    • @TheRunTesters
      @TheRunTesters  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks! I (Nick) have taken tabs with me in races before by cling-filming individual tabs. It’s not ideal and and a bit fiddly to unwrap then on the go, but it got the job done! The capsules are worth trying though, would be much simpler

      @@TheRunTesters Thanks Nick, not a bad idea, I guess break them up into 2-3 pieces and treat them as sweets, I like how 'clean' the product seems to be, very subtle flavour etc.

    how do you keep electrolyte tabs in your bottles without them fizzing all over the place?

    • @TheRunTesters
      @TheRunTesters  2 роки тому +2

      Don’t fill the bottles then add the tabs, add the tabs to a not quite filled bottle and then top up.

    Thanks guys, this might be a stupid question but what does salt actually do? Carbs I get - it gives you energy, but salts, apart from making chips taste even nicer I don't really know 🤷‍♂️ thanks and sorry if I'm being a bit thick

      Hi Tom - We've got a blog on the precision hydration website called 'why sodium is crucial to athletes performing at their best' if you hit the blog pages and search for that title it will pop up for you. I can't post the link here so apologies for that but if you look it up I think it should answer your question
