Episode notes
Test Your Sweat, Then Fuel Precisely
- Get a sweat test to know your personal sodium loss per liter of sweat.
- Use that to tailor electrolyte intake instead of guessing with generic products.
Eat Frequently During Ultras
- For ultras, prioritize frequent calorie intake; Mason tracked 5–700 cal/hr to stay positive.
- Favor whole foods if gels don't sit well but match intake to hour-by-hour needs.
HYROX Is Run-Dominant — Train Your Engine
- HYROX favors athletes with a running base because the race is ~60% running.
- If you're already strong, focus HYROX training on compromised running and engine work.
