cardio up and high elevations is the hardest thing I've ever done

Same and I misunderstood the trip so I wore flip flops and just ended up barefoot alot of it ?

 

[Powers96]

keep up the good work my man make sure you hydrate really good even if you're not thirsty up there in the mountains

Hydrating enough is hard as fuck. That's an area I'm always falling short, my wife always tells me I don't drink enough water haha

A proper breakfast

 

[JasonPriest]

be careful with those electrolyte mixes they usually have a lot of junk in them

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro on the ranch I like to eat watermelon or other melons good hydration

 

[QuadSweep]

you can mix some salt and cream of tartar in your water that will help

 

[Austin316]

there are some decent sports drinks out there but you really have to keep an eye on the ingredients

 

[sambee38]

gonna be hard to take a jug with you on the mountains but water is crucial

 

[BookerTNY]

as long as you have a good time that's the most important thing
