A precise sweat test gives you the exact hydration data your body needs — personalised to you, not the average athlete.
The problem
Generic sports drink labels. Average sweat calculators. Trial-and-error plans. If you're cramping, fading, or guessing what to drink on race day — you're not alone. The problem isn't discipline. It's data.
Not caused by fitness. Often caused by incorrect sodium replacement — something that's completely fixable once you know your numbers.
The "fade out" most athletes blame on fuelling is often sodium depletion — your muscles and nerves losing efficiency without warning.
Different conditions, different results. Without your actual sweat data, you're starting from zero every event.
Electrolyte products are formulated for an average sweat rate. Your rate might be 3x higher — or half as much.
The process

Athlete results
"Sitting down with Reece was really valuable. The sweat test provided data you can't really get any other way, but more than that, his knowledge around fueling and hydration is fantastic. I finally have a plan based on science, experience and my own data. It's very good value given the time he spends with you, the follow up, and the knowledge you take with you."
"Go get a sweat test!! If you've even got a passing interest in running/cycling/endurance sports, and especially if you've had any issues with cramps in the past, the sheer volume of useful information I gained in this one hour session was absolutely priceless. Armed with the knowledge that I'm a 'moderately salty sweater' — very worth the time, highly recommended."
"Reece is incredibly knowledgeable and helps navigate the importance of fuelling and hydration. He helped me develop a detailed plan to attack my first 100km ultra and I left feeling my fuelling and hydration will be on point! Anyone looking to make sure they're getting the most out of their fuelling and hydration — Reece is your man!"
"As a trail runner who trains and races in all types of conditions, I recently did a sweat test with Reece and found the session extremely valuable. He was knowledgeable, easy to deal with, and explained everything in a clear, practical way. I walked away with personalised insights and a much better understanding of what my body needs during training and racing."
"My appointment with Reece helped give me confidence to choose the right products that work best for me based on my sweat test results. I am now feeling ready to tackle the marathon and would recommend anyone feeling unsure or overwhelmed with what's out there to seek advice from Reece."
"I had a really great experience with Reece during my recent sweat test. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and directly applicable to my training. Highly recommend to anyone serious about endurance performance!"
