Hi, this is Debbie Boyles, coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 128, all about electrolytes, part one.

Welcome to the Mojo for Running podcast.

I'm the coach, Debbie Boyles, and this is the podcast for middle of the packers,

regular people not afraid to work up a sweat, who embrace the outdoors and that wonderful feeling of endorphins surging through their veins.

My goal is to provide the information you need to achieve your goals.

Now let's talk about electrolytes. Recently, a friend training for her first marathon asked about

the options for electrolytes during her race. When I started writing, I expected the explanation would take a couple of hundred words,

but when I got into it, I realized I actually had quite a lot more that I could say about that,

and I realized it would be a good idea, a good topic for a podcast.

So here we are.

Few decisions you make, whether for a long training run or a long race, are more critical

than those having to do with electrolyte consumption. What, when, how? There's so much to think about.

You've got many decisions and almost infinite choices, more than most people realize. But before we

get to that, I want to announce a special offer from my Run Tampa Club T-shirt supplier, Mike Phillips.

His company, Event Tech, supplies all those great-looking, bright yellow shirts you may have seen on my Run Tampa Club members.

I love that vivid yellow color.

It really stands out.

But of course, Mike has many colors and styles that he offers.

They arrive already printed and the turnaround time is excellent.

Plus, Mike is really easy to work with.

I love the product.

The price is great and he makes it easy.
