Big Alta: Beating the Heat
WEEKEND RECAP: Klaire Rhodes Outruns the Temperature
Klaire Rhodes secured a massive win in the 50K despite a scorching Friday and no specific heat training prior to the race. When the weather throws a curveball, victory comes down to one word: Sodium.
The Strategic Heat Routine
Klaire maintained a highly consistent intake of 900mg of sodium per hour to keep her internal fluid levels perfectly balanced in the California sun.
-
The Protocol: She alternated every 30 minutes between BOOST™ Gel 25 Neutral and Gel 30 Salted Lemon.
-
The Hydration Base: She washed her energy down by consuming a serving of BOOST™ Drink Mix 60 Salted Cucumber every single hour.
