The sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/P1020044.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19062 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/P1020044.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/P1020044-768x505.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/526;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As anyone who has completed even a single hard indoor workout knows,  trainer or treadmill running sessions can be brutal. And unless you are  masochistic enough to set up your gear in a garage that exposes you to  the winter temperatures, these workouts probably take place in a warm,  humid environment. While this is great for escaping the winter blues, it  is not much help when it comes to keeping cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you actually sweat more indoors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anecdotally, many runners and triathletes believe they sweat more indoors. Ultimately, though,  the answer is \u201cit depends.\u201d Just as the outdoor environment can be  influenced by myriad factors, including temperature, humidity levels,  precipitation, wind speed and shade cover, various aspects of your  indoor setup can affect how much you sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4686-copy-Copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24983 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4686-copy-Copy-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4686-copy-Copy-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4686-copy-Copy-2-768x768.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/1000;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many experts believe, however, that at a minimum your sweat rate inside is at least equal to what it would be outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDepending on your objective for the ride (aerobic, strength, drills,  intervals) and the duration, you may or may not require a bit more  fluid when on the indoor bike trainer,\u201d  writes Bob Seebohar, RD, an endurance coach and former sports dietitian for  the U.S. Olympic triathlon team. \u201c[Various conditions] can lead to a  greater sweat rate and loss of fluid, which is often the case when  riding a turbo trainer indoors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"428\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/7CS_4643-copy-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27196 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 762px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 762\/428;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is causing this high sweat rate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, each situation is different, but there are a few common differences between indoor and outdoor workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4501-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24947 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4501-Copy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4501-Copy-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/562;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first is intensity.<\/strong> When riding outdoors,  perceived effort is often lower due to the ability to coast in certain  spots, as well as the distraction of the outdoor scenery. On a trainer,  an athlete must pedal consistently throughout the workout, eliminating  the ability to coast and upping the overall intensity. A study in the <em>Journal of Applied Physiology<\/em>  found that workout intensity is highly correlated with sweat rate, so  it naturally makes sense that the intense indoor workouts will produce a  higher sweat rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The second is air flow.<\/strong> When riding outdoors, no  matter the temperature, athletes have the benefit of air flow to help  keep them cool. Air flow helps sweat evaporate, which is an essential  step in the cooling process. Inside, this air flow is greatly reduced or  completely nonexistent, so the sweat often just hangs on the skin (or  pools around the bottom of the front tire), reducing the cooling effect.  This prompts the body to sweat even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4519-copy-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24938 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4519-copy-Copy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4519-copy-Copy-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/562;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does this impact your workout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dehydration negatively impacts workout performance. The human body \nrelies on a balance of water, calories and electrolytes to fuel \nexercise, and despite some of today\u2019s Internet rumors, there is no \nsituation when running low in any of these categories boosts output. \nThus, when working out, the smart athlete will replace all three in the \nideal ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a two percent reduction in your body weight from fluid loss can  begin to impair performance, and three percent is considered to do so  \u201csignificantly.\u201d Beyond that, and many experts believe an athlete is putting him or herself in a potentially dangerous situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, sweat contains more than just water, and athletes will  need to replace adequate levels of electrolytes as well, including  sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. To see this in action,  consider the results of a small double-blind, placebo-controlled 2015 study,  which found measurable performance improvements in athletes who  replaced adequate amounts of sodium compared to athletes who did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4438-copy-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24980 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4438-copy-Copy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4438-copy-Copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7CS_4438-copy-Copy-768x768.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/1000;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you do about it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As noted above, the smart athlete will work to replace both water and electrolytes during a workout in the optimal ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports drinks may help, but for workouts longer than 60 minutes, it  may be beneficial to supplement with a solid electrolyte product such as Saltstick. Here\u2019s why: Sweat typically has about 1,000 mg sodium\/liter, but due to  concerns about taste, a typical sports drink has only 440 mg  sodium\/liter. Otherwise, the product would taste like seawater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple maths illustrates that if, during the course of training, you  ingest nothing but sports drinks (or worse, water), your electrolyte  stores will become too low compared to your water stores, a medical  condition known as hyponatremia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/saltstickchews.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27193 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/saltstickchews.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/saltstickchews-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So what does this mean practically? <strong>We suggest consuming one to two SaltStick Caps per hour while drinking to thirst. <\/strong>SaltStick\n is uniquely formulated to closely resemble the electrolyte profile lost\n during activity:&nbsp;Each capsule contains: 215 mg sodium, 63 mg potassium,\n 22 mg calcium and 11 mg magnesium.
