    Thank you for breaking down the science behind electrolytes! I always knew they were important, but understanding the balance of sodium, potassium, and magnesium makes so much sense. Quick question – if I’m working out for less than an hour, would you still recommend using these DIY electrolyte packets, or is plain water enough?

      You’re welcome! And yes if you’re training an hour or less, plain water is fine unless you’re a heavy/salty sweater, or it’s really hot outside where you’re training or extra intense. Then the threshold lowers to 45 minutes.
