So there I was, my muscles frozen from cramps, my stomach in knots, my vision blurred... and I still had 5 more hours of running! Worlds Toughest Mudder in 2015 was a huge disaster.

Lets dive in on why you should be paying closer attention to Sodium levels if you want to become the best athletic version of yourself.
