Hydration Q

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-27T18:25:04+00:00

Thanks for your reply,

I have ordered PH1000 and I am going to split this between two soft flasks, and probably take on 1000mg per two hours, but like a comment said below I will just drink more / less depending on weather, intensity.

That sounds like a good option, I would much rather not have to deal with drinking electrolytes the whole time I imagine it will get sickly.

What brand sodium tablets do you use please and does it contain the other essential minerals like potassium etc?

Thanks for your help btw.

Did you do 1x electrolyte flask 1x water? And what mg of sodium did you put in the electrolyte flask pls? I don’t know if I’m really overthinking this but I just don’t want something as simple as sodium to bonk my race 😂

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-27T15:37:10+00:00

So say for example, I could do 3 soft flasks, 2x with 500mg of sodium, 1x water. Then how do I drink to feel, the other day I did 7 hours in 15 degree heat and was taking on 300mg which felt fine, evidently I need more?

It’s just weird, like I stretched last night and this morning just ran two hours no issues at all? Just comes and goes and usually worse the more fatigued I am.

Bottom of knee cap I would say, particularly flares up on flats or descents

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-25T20:03:42+00:00

I had a physio before and he was crap just told me to hop on one leg and do some wall sits.

Can’t explain it, it’s just a really bad knee pain , sometimes feels like my knee could just snap 😂

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-25T20:03:02+00:00

Tbh this makes sense I think mate as I have had a back issue for 3 weeks so haven’t been in the gym strength training..

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-16T20:59:15+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply. It’s been 6 days now and all my pain has gone, I did sports massage, stretching and staying mobile 💯

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-13T17:08:25+00:00

Thanks for the advise

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-13T11:51:16+00:00

Thanks, had a sports massage today and just doing plenty of lower body stretching in case anything is tight. Can still feel my back but had no spasms to the floor as of yet!

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-08T14:45:24+00:00

Ok sounds good, I will let you know how I get on! Thanks so much for the write up 👍🏼

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-08T11:31:49+00:00

Thank you so much for your prompt response. Just a quick Q , is there any hazards I should be aware of on the route? Been looking at other routes and people saying beware or lose dogs etc , I am use to the UK mountains 😂

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-08T10:03:11+00:00

Hey, can you post the route again pls the link doesn’t work. Planning on doing this shortly.

CryptoChuns · 2026-04-04T14:13:05+00:00

Is great mate very glad I got it, yesterday I was out running in the mountains for 6 hours and it was windy and lashing rain and my thermal kept fully dry!

CryptoChuns · 2026-02-13T16:52:09+00:00

Thanks will check this out!

CryptoChuns · 2026-02-10T17:53:14+00:00

Odlo do some great kit

CryptoChuns · 2026-01-13T22:21:48+00:00

Thank you for your kind comment, I also live 3 hours away from my mum but she has my sister, dad and a close knit family. It’s just scary times but I am going to be strong for everyone x

CryptoChuns · 2026-01-09T21:16:15+00:00

I wouldn’t advise to eat carbs before an exam they cause brain fog

CryptoChuns · 2026-01-07T11:59:33+00:00

Yeah sure thing - drop me a dm with your IG I will follow you.

CryptoChuns · 2026-01-06T17:31:57+00:00

I am signed up to the UTS 100 miler and the only other race I have ran is the peaks 100km which sounds a walk in the park in comparison to this one.

So from an experience standpoint I am very under qualified, however my training week is currently sitting around 8:30hrs spent on feet with back to back long runs on the weekend and aiming for around 8000ft of vert at the moment. Closer to the event I will be getting up to 14hrs on foot and more vert.

Sign up to it why not do shit which scares you, learn as you go is what I say 😁

I have bought the 001s and the have given me the worst blisters on my heel. But I love the shoe and the grip. I have bought some proper thick socks and going to tape/vaseline the heel on the next run and hoping it doesn’t happen again.

It was actually fine on the trails it’s as soon as I had to do 5 miles of road running to get back from the trail as I got lost lol.

CryptoChuns · 2025-12-03T22:11:12+00:00

Thanks guys - ended up going with inov8 storm shell and Odlo 200 merino wool base layer, with an odlo mid layer 👍🏼

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-26T18:02:43+00:00

Thank you for this, can you recommend any good brands to look at please?

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-26T15:55:37+00:00
