Chewing a piece of gum might help!! I am a fan of shot blocks and never train with sports drink, so maybe that would help keep my sodium level up.<br /><br />Miranda, let me know if you want to go for a run sometime!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742209008670744276.post-30497530605814212602009-09-20T11:19:14.516-06:002009-09-20T11:19:14.516-06:00Hi Lisa, it's Miranda from Hoffman...love your...Hi Lisa, it's Miranda from Hoffman...love your blog! (I'm chronicling my training for the Philly Marathon on Nov 22 at www.miranduh.com) I also "do the salt" after reading about it's benefits several times over. I also stray away from any added salt and detest the taste. I usually follow my salt packet with gum. If I'm in a race or a run longer than 10 miles, I bring a gel with me and forgo the extra salt packet. Hope it helps for your longer runs!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080651317344991278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742209008670744276.post-71032654822068950932009-09-20T10:20:29.525-06:002009-09-20T10:20:29.525-06:00You might want to try E-caps or something along th...You might want to try E-caps or something along those lines, it's basically a salt tablet to take in pill form.Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.com
