Keep it to a shot.

Past 4 oz the vinegar fades and it tastes like salty water. For something to sip, use your regular mix.

One stick covers about 40 minutes of sweat for a lot of athletes. Heavy sweaters need more, from food or a drink mix.

Test it on a training day.

Vinegar and salt on a working stomach takes a try or two. Learn how it sits before you need it on race day.

Two sticks is enough to find out.
