And outside of scrubbing your running shoes and choosing new ahtleisure gear, you can prepare by prepping your post-race electrolyte drink with Hydralyte products.

They are designed to combat the effects of vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating and even mild hangovers by offering a balanced blend of essential minerals.
All you need to do is simply dissolve one or two tablets in water to create a tangy flavoured drink that effectively rehydrates the body.
Amazon sells a range of flavours but my favourite is orange, which is currently discounted to $18.36 for 40 tablets.
Shoppers rave about the product’s ability to quickly alleviate dehydration symptoms.
Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts swear by Hydralyte for maintaining optimal hydration during intense workouts.
Travellers also appreciate the convenience of carrying these compact tablets for on-the-go hydration.
“Great product. Always make sure we have these readily available in our house. Amazing taste and feel great after having these. Highly recommend,” one woman wrote on Amazon.
“Better than Gatorade. Number one for quick hydration,” said another.
“Use a lot of these for during and post exercise, when you’ve had long days in hot weather or when sick. Really good and taste nice,” a third added.
While Hydralyte is generally well-tolerated, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional for persistent or severe dehydration.
This product is not a substitute for medical advice.
The instructions on a tube of Hydralyte are clear.
“Remove two tablets from tube and replace the cap tightly. Dissolve in 200mL of fresh, cold drinking water. For babies under six months use freshly boiled and cooled water,” they state.
“Sip slowly and frequently while symptoms persist.
“Discard unused solution after two hours or 24 hours if refrigerated.
“Do not mix Hydralyte with cordial, fruit juice, soft or sports drinks.
“Always dissolve in water. Never place tablet directly into mouth.”
For adults, the maximum dosage per day is 40 tablets, while for children the maximum dosage is less.
