hydratation/ electrolyte
One thing I seriously underestimated when I started hiking was hydration. I thought water was enough but after a few rough trails I started doing more research and it genuinely changed how I feel on longer hikes.
Turns out plain water doesn't replace what you actually lose through sweat. Sodium, potassium, magnesium. Those are the electrolytes your muscles need to keep going. Since I started taking electrolytes that include all three before and during my hikes, the difference in energy and cramp prevention has been pretty noticeable.
Anyone else made the switch from just water to electrolytes? What did you notice?
