Electrolytes: Why They're Overrated (and When You Actually Need Them)
Electrolytes are one of the most overhyped products in sports nutrition. While brands push powders and tablets as everyday essentials, most athletes don’t actually need them for regular training. Water and a balanced diet provide more than enough for sessions under an hour. Electrolytes only become useful in hot conditions, during long endurance events, or for athletes with heavy sweat losses. The takeaway? They’re a tool for specific situations, not a daily performance hack.
Who are the Endurance Academy?
A Performance Consultancy for Endurance Athletes
Endurance Academy was built on a simple principle:
Performance improves when training, nutrition and health are aligned.
Too often, ambitious amateur athletes treat these areas separately — a coach here, a diet tweak there, rehab when something breaks.
We take a different approach.
We integrate performance strategy across disciplines, using applied sport science and clinical practice to build durable, high-performing athletes.

“Jon has helped me get back on track after a period of plateauing. The thorough assessments he performed made it clear that my nutritional needs were insufficient for my training load. Since then, I have increased portion size and the amount of protein in my diet, and I feel the benefits. I feel stronger with more endurance and able to recover quicker from training and racing. Thanks Jon!”

"I was first recommended to work with Jon to help improve my running. After years of underfuelling, Jon’s guidance and support has greatly impacted not only my running performance but also my overall mood, day-to-day energy levels and very importantly, I was able to regain my menstrual cycle. Jon has been amazing and very supportive throughout - I could not recommend him enough. It has been so insightful to work with Jon and I’ve learnt things about my nutrition that I will implement for the rest of my life."

"I am always looking at ways to improve my diabetes management and after speaking with Jon @the_ endurance _academy it was very clear that he could offer me a structured training plan that would not only improve my performances as a runner and cyclist but more importantly for me to put me more in control of managing my diabetes. I’ve been working with Jon for 2 years now which has seen me stay focused and committed, I put that down to how my training plan is structured! Plenty of variety which for me is key. As a result, my fitness and health have improved greatly which helps managing type 1 diabetes that bit easier."

"As age and injuries were creeping on and I was looking at my 60th Birthday, one of the big things I was beginning to notice was an ever-decreasing drop in usable HR and power. Alongside this was increased weight, subtle but none less there and I was starting to find recovery from longer, harder events were much slower. This led to me contacting Jon for help in understanding what and how cycling at a good level into increasing age can be achieved and maintained. After meeting with Jon over coffee he was able to understand and suggest a few things that would help. I have now been working with Jon and a worked-out program for a few months and I can now see some definite changes and I am looking forward to doing the Marmot next year. "

"Jon is all you could want for in a coach. He looks at every ride you do. He cares. He inspires. He’s made me the best 57 year old cyclist I can be. Thank you."
