Salt tabs? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[5xdisneyfans]

Curious about salt tabs. I have never used them before. When do you start using them if at all? Mostly curious for SS 10 miler. Is that a point of using them? I know this weekend is typically hot and I do sweat a lot. My longest race in the past was 10k. I figured people that run more can give me some personal insight on this rather than just looking on google. Thanks

I use salt chews at every Disney race since they have electrolytes as well as salt. Rundisney doesn’t provide electrolytes on the 10k course, which is bonkers to me. I’ll take them on intervals separate from my fuel, and if it’s humid, I take two at a time at more frequent intervals. I’d say get some to try on runs and see how you feel.

I know nothing about them TBH other than I keep picturing the old salt licks I used to see in the woods when I was a kid when we’d visit northern Wisconsin.

At this year’s SS 10k they handed out bottles of Powerade and water when they ran out of cups at one of the stations. It was about at the halfway point? I’ve just been using gels and Liquid IV for my runs but might try them when I do the half in 2 weeks.
