Salt is needed for athletes in the heat.
Sweat is saltier during the early stages of training and heat acclimation than after an athlete is fit and fully acclimated to exercise in the heat.
Sweat contains more salt when you are starting to become acclimatized, and should decrease as you spend more time training and racing in the heat.
Depending on your sodium losses, you can replace your sodium sweat losses with the salt or sodium in your daily diet and by consuming a sports drink with adequate sodium.
