Announcing Our Partnership With Nix Biosensors

I’m excited to announce that we just finalized a partnership with Nix Biosensors, where you can save 15% on their Hydration Biosensors and Sweat Patch Refills, using the code “GRITENDURANCE15”!

Most endurance athletes, even those with several years of experience, do not have a strong understanding of their sweat rate in different conditions, and just as importantly, they don’t know the electrolyte concentration of their sweat.  They “think” they know, or they may have an estimate, but it often hasn’t been validated.  This is where Nix Biosensors can totally change the game.  They are simple to use and will push your sweat rate and sodium concentration data into an app on your phone.  On the app, you can aggregate the data and get a more solid understanding of your overall sweat profile.  Your sweat rate and electrolyte concentration can vary substantially by sport (bike vs run) and conditions (heat and humidity), and the app helps you quickly and easily find past workouts that mirror the conditions of your upcoming event.  Athletic performance quickly declines even with small amounts of dehydration or electrolyte depletion, so this should be a major part of your race day strategy!
