[RC] French/Belgiums- Using/Not Using Electrolytes - Tom Sites
Leonard said the Belgiums are not using
electrolytes either, and i never knew him to talk trash, so I believe him.
Leonard, can you tell us why? The French that people are so suspect of is
another story that i'd like to know all these folks rationale too. I do not
doubt them either. It is an interesting discussion since hydration is a
major factor of Endurance. And with the rise of others in Endurance its time us
Americans sit back and say hey...Maybe we can learn something from them, or at
least have an open mind, as our superiority seems to have diminished
somewhat over the past few years. Some may even argue that
assumption.
I just know that my only problems metabolically,
was when i was USING electrolyes copiously. After my major crash, some
told me i had used too much and created an electrolyte imbalance. I did not
know then , nor do i know now, but i'm sure open for more information on the
topic, and i hope its a subject that does not go away...Thank you Kim, for
asking some really good questions in your naturally non-offensive way.
