Why runners need electrolytes
Running demands more from your body than almost any other endurance sport. Every stride increases sweat loss, and with it go the essential minerals that keep your muscles firing and your brain focused.
When sodium, potassium, and magnesium drop, your body struggles to send electrical signals efficiently — leading to cramps, fatigue, and slower recovery. Electrolytes don’t just hydrate; they keep your muscles and mind connected.
How electrolytes impact performance
- Sodium: Retains fluid and prevents dehydration during long efforts.
- Potassium: Helps prevent muscle cramps and regulates heartbeat under stress.
- Magnesium: Supports muscle contraction, recovery, and energy metabolism.
During a marathon, your body can lose 1–3 litres of sweat per hour — often over 1,000 mg of sodium. Replacing these minerals is the difference between hitting the wall and finishing strong.

Hydration plan for training and race day
