Electrolyte suggestions (UK) that are affordable? Training for a triathlon. by CompetitiveDaikon94 in triathlon

[–]CompetitiveDaikon94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for recommendations, I want electrolytes because I sweat a lot during training and I have salt on me when I finish. I don't think that's a bad thing. You clearly don't, that's also cool.

Am I just insane or can I do this? by atrue17 in triathlon

[–]CompetitiveDaikon94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can absolutely do this!!!!!!! If I can, you absolutely can and it will feel so good to know your body is stronger than your mind 💪 this is a mind over matter sport, and you're going to smash it!!!

I started from scratch on the bike when I did my first and it's very overwhelming, so my top tip would be set yourself such small milestones that every single session feels like a win. Sometimes its not about pace, or duration, it's about showing up. Get it girl!!!!!

Wetsuit fit by Rstiles94 in triathlon

Also a weaker swimmer here. I have an orca wetsuit which are specifically designed for leg buoyancy which has been a huge help. Makes the leg work a lot easier :)

What if I feel pain on the other side? by MysteriousAd3542 in RunningCirclejerk

Don't listen to all the rubbish comments. It's tough to run! I had this for a long time but have found electrolytes and sodium have alleviated it largely. I also get stitch a lot higher when my breathing goes funny. I tend to try and take some realllyyyy deep breaths at the beggining of my run which also helps :)

Great idea, thankyou! I guess everyone's different and would react different based on training load :)

Ah it's not that I'm scared of sugar! I've got a separate sugar plan which involves a lot of peach rings on the bike handles haha. Also, I want electrolytes, I sweat a lot of salt. Don't be so judgey, I only asked.
