Electrolytes and supplements for trail running and ultras

During trail running and ultra running, your body loses not only fluids, but also important electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. These minerals play an important role in the fluid balance, muscle function and nerve conduction in the body.

When running for a long time, especially in warm conditions or in the mountains, the loss of electrolytes can lead to fatigue, cramps, or impaired hydration. That is why many trail runners use electrolyte products and supplements to support their bodies during training and competitions.

What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes are minerals that are lost through sweat. The most important for endurance athletes are:

• Sodium – helps retain moisture and supports hydration

• Potassium – supports muscle function and nerve signals

• Magnesium – plays a role in muscle relaxation and recovery

By replenishing these minerals, you can better regulate your fluid balance and support your body during prolonged exertion.
