The SweatSmart Race Checklist for Sweaty Runners (Free)

Plan your hydration, sodium, gear, and race-day strategy with confidence — so nothing falls apart when it matters most.

✔ Built from real ultra running experience
✔ Designed for heavy sweaters
✔ Simple, practical, no guesswork

Ever had a race fall apart for no obvious reason?

You trained well.
You felt ready.

Then suddenly…

cramps hit out of nowhere
energy drops hard
your legs feel completely empty
nothing seems to work anymore

For a lot of runners — especially heavy sweaters —
👉 it’s not fitness… it’s hydration and sodium.

And the worst part?

Most runners don’t realise what went wrong until after the race.

This isn’t just a checklist — it’s a race-day system

This checklist walks you through everything that actually matters:

✔ How to dial in your hydration strategy
✔ How to estimate your sodium needs
✔ What gear to use (and what to avoid)
✔ How to test everything before race day
✔ What to pack for mid-race + finish line
✔ How to stay in control when things get tough

👉 It’s the exact process I use as a heavy sweater to avoid race-day mistakes.

Why I created this

I’ve spent years training and racing as a heavy sweater —
and I’ve made pretty much every hydration mistake going.

This checklist is what I wish I had earlier.

It’s simple, practical, and built from real experience —
not theory.

👉 If it helps you avoid even one bad race, it’s done its job
