You don’t have to run 26.2 miles to know what it feels like to hit a wall. Whether you’re training for your first marathon or casually clocking weekend miles, there’s one truth every runner learns the hard way: hydration isn’t just about water.
Enter electrolytes — and more specifically, Mizu Lab electrolytes, our Asian-inspired electrolyte mix that’s lightweight, portable, and actually tastes good (yes, even on mile 18).
So, Why Do Runners Love Electrolytes So Much?
Because running is sweaty business — especially over long distances. When you sweat, you’re not just losing water. You’re also losing key minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium — a.k.a. electrolytes. And when those levels drop, your body starts to feel the difference.
That’s why marathoners (and anyone training like one) often supplement with electrolyte mixes. It’s not just about replenishing — it’s about helping your body keep going when the finish line still feels very far away.
What Makes Mizu Lab Electrolytes Runner-Friendly?
We made Mizu Lab electrolytes with more than just athletes in mind — but runners love us for good reason:
-
Portable single-serve sticks that fit in your belt, vest, or race-day pocket
-
No caffeine, just simple ingredients
-
Asian-inspired flavors like Asian Yogurt Drink & Strawberry and Shine Muscat & Aloe that actually taste good mid-sweat
-
Easy to mix. No clumps. No sugar crashes. No stomach drama.
Whether you're hydrating pre-run, recovering post-run, or topping off during training, Mizu Lab keeps it simple and easy.
Pre-Run, Mid-Run, or Post-Run: When Should You Take It?
Every runner has their rhythm — but generally:
-
Before your run: Great for starting hydrated, especially if it’s early or hot
-
During long runs: Helpful for any session over 60–90 minutes
-
After your run: Smart way to replenish what you lost and bounce back faster
It’s like your personal hydration toolkit — minus the heavy bottle or sticky sports drink.
Running a Marathon, But Living a Life
At Mizu Lab, we get that not every runner is chasing a podium finish. You might be chasing a PR, chasing endorphins, or just chasing your own peace of mind. Whatever your pace, your body still deserves solid hydration.
That’s why we created something that fits your lifestyle — not just elite athletes. Mizu Lab electrolytes are for early risers, after-work joggers, first-time racers, and lifelong striders alike.
