It is strongly recommended to bring a mixture of
electrolyte tablets AND electrolyte drink powders. You
need to bring a minimum of:
• Enough powder to make a minimum of 30 liters of
drink
OR
• Enough salt tablets / Endurolytes for 30 hours on
the course (usually minimum is 1.5 tablets per
hour=45 tablets)
OR
• A combination of both, e.g. powder for 15 litres of
water and tablets for 15 hours on the course. If
you expect to spend more than 30 hours on the
course then you should increase this accordingly.
It is vital that you test your electrolyte plan during
your training and follow the amounts recommended
on the packets.
