Andrew Steer Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Can I downgrade? I got a 21km entry from another runner Sent from my SM-G960F using TapatalkNot looking as simple as I thought... seems there are tons of people trying to downgrade Lexx 1
Jaws677 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Don't run if you're sick - heart rate is usually a very good indicator that your system is under attack from something. If it's high, exercise extreme caution...Just gave my entry away. Super sad I was really looking forward to it. Sent from my Redmi 4X using Tapatalk

Mudsimus Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 This is a very useful function to use, I can see immediately if I need rest, or a few easy days. My RHR stays elevated for a while after a long run. On Monday my normal program got disrupted by rain and I had to do back to back runs. My RHR spiked for a day or two. As soon as I got back to my normal program it went down. SwissVan and Andrew Steer 2
Jackes Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Dave and the other trail pro's.. I need one of these cups, I guess this is not a bad buy at R75? https://www.takealot.com/aonijie-soft-cup-200ml-round/PLID52292618

We should all have one though and runs should be plastic sachet and polystyrene cup free... Pulse and Barry Stuart 2
Jackes Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 have received a few from various events. How does the quality seem? I trust Salomon will be the best, but I can't imagine that this is poor quality. Especially since I can get two for the price of the one Salomon.
Chris_ Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I like Polars Vantage simple message.... Train more !!! I think more watches should do this. Just pop up a msg during an activity - You can do better....Maybe you should work harder...This is a pretty poor effort....Its not taper week! Dirkitech, Odinson, Lexx and 2 others 5
Chris_ Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Does anyone here run/supplement with salt tabs or such a thing?
Mudsimus Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Does anyone here run/supplement with salt tabs or such a thing?Not Salt tablets but I use those effervescent eloctrolyte tablets after long sweaty runs. Chris_ 1
SwissVan Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Does anyone here run/supplement with salt tabs or such a thing?Never ever taken salt other that what is added to my food during cooking or in my energy drinks. I’ve thought about because I sweat a lot... but then decided not to mess around with my system that clearly does not need more salt. Don’t fix something that’s not broken imo Chris_ and Dirkitech 2
Pulse Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Does anyone here run/supplement with salt tabs or such a thing?There used to be a believe that the salt that is lost in sweat needs to be replaced, and there was a strong push for salt tablets/ supplementation. Its now believed that the salt lost in sweat is typically excess salts (similar to that lost in urine), and does not need to be replaced directly. I tend to use electrolyte replacement (re-hydrate or similar) only when I've been sick; or very seldom after a very long training session. Dirkitech and Chris_ 2
Pieter-za Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Does anyone here run/supplement with salt tabs or such a thing?I judge the circumstances eg on very hot ultra's I will take salt during the race, primarily to not 'over hydrate' (iow actually decreased sodium level concentration) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5334560/Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) refers to a low blood sodium concentration ([Na+]) that develops during or immediately following physical activity Some more: http://www.marathonguide.com/training/coachmindy/hyponatremia.cfmThere are two causes of hyponatremia: consumption of too much fluid over too short a time span and inordinate sodium loss through bodily sweat. If both factors are present, the risk is exacerbated. It is true that those who sweat at a higher rate are at a higher risk; however excessive fluid intake for a normal sweat rate can also lead to inadequate fluid loss and therefore hyponatremia as well. If a person is overdrinking-that is, not using the amount of water they are consuming for their level of exertion-they will dilute their plasma sodium concentration and be more prone to the condition. Smaller runners are more at risk, therefore many women should take extra care. In addition, women lose more sodium than men and they start out with about 10 percent less body water. Slower runners, say over four and a half hours, are at increased risk since their exertion levels do not justify all the drinking they are doing before, during and after the marathon. This is not to say that they shouldn't be well-hydrated when they get to the starting line, but that they need to be aware of their body weight, projected finish time and individual needs.

I've read the same actually, which is always why I've never really considered it, until - every longer event where I'm just a salt crusted monster by the end. I sweat like a running tap too so it just makes me think if I'm am missing something by not adding something more specific in on top of 'general race' food and drink.
