A sport drink is beneficial anytime you are doing heavy exercise for more than 60-75 min, especially in a hot and humid weather as this will help prevent dehydration and cramping.
When it comes to the Sun Run training, if running/ walking sub 1 hour, then water should be your fluid of choice for hydration. You may find a sport drink useful the day of the Sun Run particularly if you had breakfast 2-3 h prior to the start and beginning to feel sluggish as you are running. The table below outlines common drinks used for hydration during/ post-training and compares it to the electrolyte content of sweat.
Coconut water is commonly marketed as excellent for re-hydration. Compared to sweat, coconut water doesn’t nearly replenish the sodium losses and wouldn’t be the best choice for hydration when electrolyte losses are heavy. Common sport drinks better match our electrolyte losses and would be preferred beverages to consume for electrolyte replenishment. Milk also matches up to our electrolyte losses and would be an excellent recovery beverage.
Prefer to make your own sport drink? Here’s a great recipe you can make ahead of time: Mix 400-ml water, 1-cup of your favourite juice, 1-tbsps. maple syrup/ honey, 1/8-tsp salt and a splash of lime .
