No. High tech Wheat Thins
Seriously, my runs aren't long enough to worry about electrolytes yet, esp. considering that most of
my runs are at 60F and below. That said, I was doing some hill hiking (3000ft up in about 2 miles)
for strength training where I was trying to keep an effort level similar to running for the about
2-hr to top (depending upon whether I went straight up or took pictures) and was sweating profusely
at +70F and made a mental note that I need to consider salt. (had wheat thins with me that I
devoured and wished I had more so no problems) The ultra that I want to do in a few years had 80+F
temperatures this year, but cold and rainy last year, so I need to be prepared for all conditions.
Neither my miles nor experience level is there yet.
When the time comes, I'll probably try the Succeed Electrolyte caps since their originator, an
ultrarunner and physiologist, I believe, seems to have his act together as to what should be in
things. I like their other products that I've tried (Ultra and Clip2), but I'm not sure how easy it
is to wash the capsules down with a camelbak or water bottle since I usually use a wide-mouthed
glass or water bottle for capsules, vitamins, etc.
