The countdown to summer events is on! Whether you're eyeing that local fun run, prepping for a CrossFit comp, or gearing up for your first triathlon, one thing's crystal clear - preparation is everything. And here's the kicker: 45% of summer event success comes down to what you do before you even reach the start line.
Why Start Now?
Think of event preparation like a perfect flat white - you can't rush it, and getting it right makes all the difference. Starting your hydration strategy now isn't just about being prepared; it's about giving your body time to adapt to what's coming.
The 8-Week Performance Journey
Weeks 1-2: Setting Your Foundation
This is where the magic begins. Just like you wouldn't start building a house without solid foundations, you can't expect peak performance without the basics sorted.
• Morning ritual: 330ml of natural hydration to kick-start your day
• Training support: Small, consistent sips during sessions
• Recovery focus: Immediate post-session replenishment
Pro tip: Your body's like a high-performance engine - it runs better on premium fuel. Natural minerals aren't just about hydration; they're about optimisation.
Weeks 3-4: Building Heat Tolerance
Now we're cooking! Your body's starting to adapt, and you'll notice:
- Better performance in warmer conditions
- More efficient sweating (yes, that's a good thing!)
- Improved recovery between sessions
- Enhanced energy levels
The Natural Advantage
This is where Lake Deborah salt shows its true colours. Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural minerals work with your body's own systems, helping you:
• Adapt to heat faster
• Maintain performance longer
