It’s not secret that hydration and recovery are important to runners and all athletes. Actually doing those things is a whole different story…

The one thing I am good at when it comes to these things is actually the hydration part. I’ve always been pretty good about following up runs with some electrolyte replacement drinks, especially when my training is in full force.

Although my running (and exercise in general) as been up and down and hit or miss, since having my kiddo, when I do get my runs in, I make sure to hydrate afterwards! We always have some sort of electrolyte drink in our house.

We have tried Science in Sport products before and loved them! Check out my review here. They great tasting, affordable, and do the job!

When I saw that they had an Immune line with extra immune system boosting power, all while still having the same electrolyte replacement benefits, this household saw that as a win-win! If anything in the last year-plus, we have been even better about trying to keep our immune systems strong – ya know, because of the pandemic and such – and we know that the immune system gets compromised more when heavy training. While I get back in to running, Ben has been training for hard mountaineering routes. Staying on top of our health is a priority in this house.

Even though I’m the BibRave Pro in the family, my husband loves when I get products like these because he likes to try them too! Both of us agree that the flavor is great and I like that they are a tiny bit fizzy! Coupled with the added immunity, this product is perfect for our active household.

I don’t remember it being this hot last year! Here in Colorado, we have been blasted with a few close-to-100 days this summer already and we’re just now getting into the traditionally hottest time of the year.

Maybe I wasn’t outside as much last year, but I definitely wasn’t running this time last year. This time last year I was 8-9 months pregnant at the beginning of summer and home with a newborn at the end of the summer.

This year, I have been very aware of the summer heat, especially while running. We have been allowed to start practicing with our Cross Country team again (with regulations/restrictions in place due to COVID) and I had to get acclimated to the heat quickly. Right now we’re running in the morning, which is bearable, but soon, we’ll have to shift practices to the afternoon and I’ll need to be even more cognizant of my hydration.

When it comes to hydration for me, I try to be pretty good with drinking water all day long, especially on days BEFORE we have practice. When going out for a run, the water you drink right before is not what hydrates you during the run; it’s more about the day before’s water intake; ironically something we’re constantly trying to teach our cross country kiddos and has come up pretty recently!

My go-to summer bag…sunscreen, water, sandals and now SiS Hydro Tablets

When it gets extra hot, my normal water intake is just not quick enough and I need a little extra oomph in the nutrient replenishment department. In the past, I’ve tried all sorts of hydration/electrolyte replacement beverages. I had not actually heard of Science In Sport (SiS) until now and I was very excited to try something new.

When it comes to hydration or electrolyte replacement drinks, there are two things the product for sure has to meet:

Has to taste good!
Does what it’s supposed to (re-hydrate me or keep my hydrated during a workout)

Yeah, I’m not high maintenance.

Sis Hydro tablets definitely meet my two qualifications.

I received a four-pack that included Pineapple/Mango, Lemon, and Cola flavors. The Cola tabs also have caffeine. The first one I tried was the pineapple/mango and I was pleasantly surprised! They were really good! I used them after a run on a specifically hot day and felt pretty refreshed! I then started making some and drinking half my water bottle per-run and saving the rest for after.

The Lemon is my favorite flavor. I don’t particularly like the taste of the Cola one but like that it contains caffeine which makes it perfect for before a long run. A lot of the other BibRace pros liked that they weren’t fizzy. When you first drop the tablets in, they fizz until they dissolve. I personally can go either way. I bet having fizz with the Cola one might make that one better!

If you’re looking for a new hydration/electrolyte sources, these are definitely worth a try! The taste good, do what they’re supposed to, and they are reasonably priced (a little bit cheaper compared to similar products).

I mean, they must be good, because Ben has used most of mine! 😉
