Drink to Thirst Endurance Protocol
Drink to thirst endurance protocol uses thirst as a fluid guide while adding planned sodium on long hot efforts—avoiding forced overhydration.
A drink to thirst endurance protocol lets thirst drive fluid intake in cool to moderate events while still planning electrolytes on long hot days—avoiding forced overhydration that risks hyponatremia. Thirst lags in cold weather and during intense racing, so scheduled sips help ultras and humid marathons.
Pair thirst with weigh-in education, not gallon challenges.
