I use Hammer Nutrition Electrolyte tablets for long, hot rides (cycling). I just take them with water.0

It deleted the rest of my post. Boo. What I was going to say is @cheshirecatastrophe, I call them that too! OP, thanks for the thread. I had this question too.

Try SKRATCH, has a higher content of sodium so will help prevent cramps and not really sweet. 100cals per serve in 600ml of water0

Water.
The need to replenish electrolytes even for endurance athletes is... unproven or tenuous at best.
So... water. Cheaper too.0 -
All (ok, most) of the ultra running community is starting to embrace Tailwind. They claim that if you consume enough, you don't need Endurolytes (electrolyte pills) or to even eat (we eat because of our distance). I can't consume the quantity needed to totally eliminate the taking of Endurolytes or not eating, but it does help in those arenas.0

Sounds very counter productive to me..........
Sugar - is one of the fastest available sources of energy to put into you body for fuel.
What do you consider a long run? Re-hydrating can also be counter productive while training for longer runs....

I'm a fan of Nuun tablets, they dissolve in water, aren't super sweet or sugary. I don't handle sugary stuff well on my long runs and these work well for me.0

Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Drink (no sugar)-- look it up on line. I also like water and Hammer enduralyte tabs (look up on Hammer website) -- this stuff has got me through 1/2 marathons, sprint tris, and climbing Mount St. Helens! Without -- headaches and bonking!0

^^^ This..... you're more likely to benefit from some glucose (sugar) than need electrolytes unless you're doing a very long event.

bonking has nothing to do with electrolytes, it's a result of having depleted glycogen reserves
