In this episode:

Everyone knows that sodium is an important component of sport nutrition but what form should it come in? For a long time sodium chloride was preferred but more recently sodium citrate is much more popular. Is there a reason for this change and is there evidence that one is better than the other? The Medical Mailbag discusses the evidence. Plus, Irish professional triathlete Fiona Moriarty comes from a running background but has distinguished herself as a cyclist. Hear how she made the transition to multisport and how she is making it all come together with a full-time job.
