Having dug around on the forum a bit I found the threat about adding salt water pre ride to get your power back. I did over do the whole month of June, and electrolytes weighed heavily on my mind last week as I was a wreck by the end of last week. Did some searching on YouTube and more digging around here. I have found some people like just simple pink himalayan salt mixed in some water. One person pointed to a Thomas Delauer ACV drink mix, and yet another to some electrolyte drops from Amazon. I am 41, and trying really to just get fat adapted, but into Keto would be a bonus. I just would like to recover better and make sure my minerals are balanced properly. I am leaning twords the Thomas Delauer concoction, but isn’t that something you drink once or twice a week? Is that enough? And to put things in perspective. My fancy bike computer and web sites say that my typical ride home from work on my loaded 66lbs commuter bike is AS stressful on my body as riding for twice the distance and twice the time on my CX “race” bike doing laps on the greenway at a local park.
Any thoughts?
