Sodium Shot Mid Workout
A sodium shot mid workout delivers concentrated salt before cramp-prone heat segments—timed with fluids and tested in training, not race-day experiments.
A sodium shot mid workout is a concentrated salty intake—electrolyte gel cap, broth sip, pretzels, or brine—timed before cramp-prone segments in heat rather than only at the finish. Heavy sweaters on sessions over ninety minutes benefit most; kidney or blood-pressure conditions need clinician guidance.
Pair with fluids to avoid gut slosh or hyponatremia from water alone. Test flavor and volume in practice runs.
Common questions
-
When should you take a sodium shot during training?
Before the hottest or longest segment—often thirty to sixty minutes in for heavy sweaters—not only after cramp starts. Practice stomach tolerance in training heat.
